Doornbos wins at San Jose

Robert Doornbos survived a mishap on the first lap that dropped him into last place, and recovered to win the San Jose Grand Prix on Sunday.

Doornbos, a native of Holland in his first season in the Champ Car series, finished 6.145 seconds ahead of runner-up Neel Jani. Oriol Servia, who led for 42 laps on the 1.443-mile course through the streets of San Jose, wound up third.

Polsesitter Justin Wilson sustained some suspension damage on the sixth lap and was able to complete just 87 laps. He finished 13th.

Points leader Sebastien Bourdais finished fifth and his lead over Doornbos in the championship race dwindled to 10 points.
