RACE REPORT.(Motorsports)(Watkins Glen Grand Prix Race)(Scott Dixon)
Scott Dixon won the Watkins Glen Indy Grand Prix for the second straight year Sunday. The story was the losers.
With cool temperatures chilling a small crowd and rain spitting throughout a shortened race, several drivers left Watkins Glen International Raceway in a huff.
Rookie Marco Andretti thought he was in position to win the first Indy Racing League event of his career until family nemesis Eddie Cheever Jr. drove him off the track on the 39th lap.
Cheever said he was fighting an uncontrollable car on new tires when the Indianapolis 500 runner-up pulled alongside, but Cheever drifted so far to the right Andretti had no choice but to veer off-course. A couple of impacts with the barriers ended Andretti's race. He was not hurt, but he was mad as hell.
"If he says he didn't know I was [alongside], he doesn't belong in the series,'' Andretti said. "Ridiculous.''
Andretti's father Michael said it was a blatant move by Cheever, although the former Indy winner denied that. The race was trimmed by four laps due to so many cars sliding off the 3.37-mile track. Indy winner Sam Hornish Jr. was the first, spinning on the 13th lap. Hornish was fortunate it wasn't worse. Somehow, Dan Wheldon avoided hitting him; later Wheldon retired with a broken driveshaft.
Dario Franchitti locked up his right-front tire on lap 16, spinning into the gravel pit. Buddy Rice spun behind him.
