IPS: Lloyd's title march continues.
Briton Alex Lloyd continued his relentless march towards the 2007 Indy Pro Series title with another emphatic victory at the Milwaukee Mile on Saturday.
Lloyd led all 100-laps around the famous one-mile Milwaukee oval in his Sam Schmidt Motorsports Dallara-Infiniti to become the first driver in series history to win the first five races of the season.
With the Milwaukee victory Lloyd now has nearly double the points of his nearest pursuer and, barring complete disaster, is on course to become the third British driver to win the IPS title after Mark Taylor and Jay Howard.

Lloyd's case was helped by the fact that his nearest title rival, Panther Racing's Hideki Mutoh was one of four drivers to be eliminated in a first lap accident.
Mike Potekhen, Jonathan Klein, Sean Guthrie and Bobby Wilson completed the top five although Wilson was a lap down to the flying Lloyd by the time the chequered flag fell.
As one would expect at the demanding Milwaukee circuit attrition was high with only eleven of the 22 starters finishing the race. Amongst those who fell by the wayside were former Champion Wade Cunningham and series frontrunners Jaime Camara, Chris Festa and Stephen Simpson.
