was an emotional day at the Mugello track in Italy as double Champ Car champion Alex Zanardi, who lost both legs in a 2001 CCWS crash, took his first race win since 1998 at Surfer’s Paradise, when “Pineapple” sealed his second Champ Car crown.

The 38-year-old drove a BMW 320i to victory at round four of the Italian Touring Car Championship. Zanardi is also a factory BMW driver in the FIA World Touring Car Championship.

Congradulations to Alex and a nice feel good story to start off the 4th of July with. :)

Great to see. I've finally gotten around to reading his book and it's a real treat to read about the glory days from his perspective.
