Bobby Wilson holds off Simmons to win Indy Lights race
Local Wisconsin resident Bobby Wilson beat off a late challenge by Jeff Simmons to win the Milwaukee 100 Indy Lights race. Post-race, pole winner Pablo Donoso squared off with Micky Gilbert. Donoso was penalized earlier for blocking Gilbert, and the two banged wheels on the cool down lap. Wilson took the lead on lap 13 of 100, and wasn't challenged until the last lap when he was caught behind back markers.
