  • IRL: Briscoe wins another Chicago thriller

    Ryan Briscoe took a big step towards the IndyCar championship by winning pole position, the race and the bonus for leading the most laps at the Chicagoland Speedway – but the result was anything but the one-sided affair those statistics suggest.

  • IRL: Briscoe wins pole to pressure championship rivals

  • IRL: Wilson hopes for repeat of Glen triumph
