Junqueira captures year's first race at rain-shortened Grand Prix

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (AP) -- Bruno Junqueira won his first race of the CART season Sunday at the rain-shortened Mario Andretti Grand Prix.
Junqueira, who started at the pole, moves into first place in the Champ Car standings. He's three points ahead of Paul Tracy, who slid off the track in the 11th lap and did not return.
The race was frustrating for drivers and fans. It started under a yellow flag and was delayed twice because of rain -- the second time for about 21/2 hours.
In the end, 34 laps were completed instead of the planned 60.
Despite the weather, Junqueira dominated the field. The Brazilian's lead was never challenged. Rookie Sebastien Bourdais, Junqueira's Newman/Haas teammate, finished second. Alex Tagliani, who started 13th, finished third.
