DETROIT -- Sebastien Bourdais raced to his first IndyCar victory of the season, beating Conor Daly by 2 seconds Saturday at Belle Isle.
Bourdais had not led a lap in any of the season's first six races and hadn't finished higher than eighth. He led 12 of the 70 laps Saturday on the 2.35-mile street course, and Bourdais was able to hold on after Daly made a pit stop on Lap 61 and gave up the lead.
Bourdais won for the second time at Belle Isle and the 35th time in his career.
