With Team Green, Tracy returned to the Indianapolis 500 for the first time since 1995 and crossed the finish line first but race officials penalized him, dropping him back to second place after a late-race caution flag that appeared at nearly the same time he passed Helio Castroneves for the race lead.

 this wasnt a penality...it was a rule

[edit] Very early Penske Career?

I was awfully young at the time so my memory of this could be incorrect...but I distinctly remember at least one race (a road course, I believe) early in Tracy's career at Penske while they were fielding three cars, where Tracy's car was not done up in the standard Marlboro/Penske Orange and white. The paint layout was the same, but the main sponsor was Mobil 1, and the orange was replaced with Mobil blue. Is this just a screwed up memory, or did he actually run like that once?

[edit] Inconsistencies in win listings

I was just looking over the table of Champ Car results and the season/team breakdown chart below it. So far as I know, the 31 wins listed in the season/team chart is the accurate measurement, but the table shows him credited with 35 wins. I'm not sure exactly which wins are wrong, however, so I have not changed the table. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.17.194.97 (talk) 20:47, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

• UPDATE: I found the inaccurate wins. Paul Tracy went winless in 1996, but according to the table he won four races that year. He's also listed as winning Laguna Seca in 1997, which he did not win. This also seems to indicate he has a win that is not credited on the table, but I have not been able to find it. I don't know if the points need to be changed or not, nor do I know what the points systems were in order to make the changes if needed, so I STILL have not these made the changes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.17.194.97 (talk) 20:52, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
