Rossi grabs third career IndyCar win

-

Alexander Rossi spent his early racing career in Europe, and his extended family back home in California rarely saw him in person. With a chance to race a swift Honda on the streets of Long Beach, Calif., in front of about 60 friends and relatives Sunday, Rossi showed everybody what they might have missed. He also demonstrat­ed what his Honda looks capable of doing this IndyCar season. Rossi pulled away after a late restart to win the Grand Prix of Long Beach, completing a dominant weekend by holding off Will Power for his third career win. Defending Long Beach champ James Hinchcliff­e, from Oakville, Ont., was ninth.
