    Sebastien Bourdais took the lead with just over a half hour remaining, and held on to win the Grand Am Rolex Series race Friday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

    Bourdais held off a charge from Ricky Taylor on a restart with just over seven minutes left, and the three-hour timed event ended under yellow after a crash brought out a caution with just under five minutes remaining. The No. 2 Ford Riley was co-driven by Bourdais and Alex Popow.

    As has become tradition in other races at the historic track, the winning drivers bent down to kiss the yard of bricks at the finish line after the race.

    "It's really cool to come out there and kiss the bricks," Bourdais said. "I'll take that any day."

    Popow called winning at Indianapolis "a dream come true."
