MIAMI, Sept. 28 (UPI) -- Mario Dominguez of Mexico led the final 28 laps Sunday to win the Champ Car World Series Grand Prix Americas at the Bayfront Park street circuit.

Brazil's Roberto Moreno was second to give Team Hernandez Competition a 1-2 finish. Moreno crossed the finish 5.241 seconds behind Dominguez.
Rookie Mika Salo of Finland, a former Formula One driver, claimed the third podium position, also in a Ford/Lola. Salo led between laps 90-95.
American Jimmy Vasser and rookie Mario Haberfeld of Brazil rounded out the top five.
Pole sitter Adrian Fernandez led a race-high 88 laps, but once he lost the lead on lap 89, he could not regain it. He finished eighth in the 135-lap event.
