    Michigan balloonist David Jacques won the Founders Race on Sunday, May 9 in the 2010 Centennial Era Balloon Festival presented by AT&T at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

    The race, rescheduled from May 8 due to weather, used the “hare and hound” format in which competitors followed the lead AT&T balloon (the hare), with the balloonist who tossed a beanbag closest to the hare’s landing zone winning.

    Jacques, piloting the Post Foods balloon, won the Founders Race with a winning distance of 2 feet, 4 inches from the mark.
