| Indy Pro Finish Recognized As World Record!
It's official. The Indy Pro Series race at Chicagoland Speedway in 2007 has been recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records as the closest margin of victory in a car race.
The 67-lap, 100-mile race was decided by 0.0005 of a second. Logan Gomez edged Sam Schmidt Motorsports teammate Alex Lloyd by 1.65 inches as they crossed the finish line at 190 mph on the 1.52-mile oval.
"It's a great honor to be recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records," said Gomez, a Crown Point, Ind., native who will return for his second season in the Indy Pro Series with Guthrie Racing in 2008. "I was happy just to get my first win at Chicagoland, but if you're going set a world record, I can't think of any better way than to win a race, even if it's by a very slim margin."
