Bourdais first in America

At the age of just 28, Frenchman Sebastien Bourdais became the first driver from a major American racing series to earn four straight championships and he did it in style with a victory in the Lexmark Indy 300 in Surfers Paradise, Queensland Australia, the penultimate event in the 14-race Champ Car championship. It has never been done in the 99 year history in Champ Car and has never been done in NASCAR’s premier series or the Indy Racing League. Four in a row is very rare in professional sports overall, in fact, it has never been done in the NFL (football) and it hasn’t been accomplished in the last twenty years in the NBA (basketball), NHL (hockey) or MLB (baseball).
