Rookie Champ Car driver Timo Glock had a win stolen from him on the last lap at Montreal when Champ Car officials told him to move over and allow second place Oriol Servia to pass him for the win.

Now correct me if I'm wrong, but the whole purpose of racing is to keep the other guy behind you. That's why they call it racing. :shakehead:

It really doesnt say exactly what short cutting he was doing?
Mentions something about short cutting the chicane, It isnt like the guy was just running straight through bus stops or making straight aways out of the S's.

As low slung as those cars are, Id just had to let him do it.
I mean how much cutting the coarse could he have possibly done?

The brief mention that was in "The Tennessean" said the penalty was for blocking. If I'm on the last few laps and going for my first win, I'm gonna block too.
