Miami, Sept 29: Mexico's Mario Dominguez wins the Miami Grand Prix CART race. Mexico's Mario Dominguez was the surprise winner of a crash-filled Miami Grand Prix CART race on Sunday that included points leader Paul Tracy among its victims. Dominguez cruised to a 5.241 second victory in his Lola Ford-Cosworth over Brazilian team mate Roberto Moreno with Finn Mika Salo, the former Toyota Formula One driver, coming third. Tracy continues to lead the points standings with 204 to the 191 of Junqueira, who finished ninth. Mexico's Michel Jourdain is third with 171. Tracy was involved in an accident with French rookie Sebastien Bourdais early in the race on lap 68 and retired without scoring any points. Polesitter Adrian Fernandez, another Mexican who had led a race-high 88-laps on the streets of downtown Miami, was involved in an incident on lap 93 with Bruno Junqueira of Brazil.


The nose of Junqueira's Lola hit the rear of Fernandez punting him into Tiago Monteira of Portugal, who had moved over to allow the leaders to overtake him.


Racing resumed on lap 101 but quickly went yellow again and race leader Michel Jourdain Jr was penalised for a pit lane violation putting rookie Briton Darren Manning in the lead.


At the restart Dominguez and Moreno easily moved around Manning, who had a mechanical problem and subsequently retired, and the pair were never seriously challenged by Salo.


Dominguez, whose first victory came at the rain-shortened Surfer's Paradise event on Australia's Gold Coast last year, was overjoyed at winning the race.


Three races remain in the championship with the next round scheduled for Mexico City on October 12.
