IndyCar racer third in championship standings

Dan Wheldon had to settle for a second place finish behind Target Chip Ganassi team-mate Scott Dixon at the Nashville Superspeedway in the rain-shortened Firestone Indy 200 on Saturday.

The former Bedford School pupil, who started sixth on the grid and recorded his eighth top-five finish of the IndyCar season, said: "I absolutely did not (have a second-place car tonight), but sometimes it's better to be lucky than good."

Dixon currently leads the IndyCar standings with Wheldon 69 points back in third behind Helio Castroneves. Next up for Wheldon is the Honda Indy 200 in Mid-Ohio on Saturday.

Can marathon runner Paula Radcliffe and badminton star Gail Emms win Olympic gold for Bedford?
Paula's injury and the quality of Gail's opponents might make it tough.
I'm backing Paula to fulfil her dream at last.
Gail must do it after her fabulous first round win with Nathan Robertson.
Come on girls! You both can do it!
