WEST ALLIS, Wis. Nike Air Max 2013 Schuhe Herren Weiß. -- As long as his boss went to the trouble of bringing IndyCar racing back to the Milwaukee Mile, Ryan Hunter-Reay figured he might as well bring home the winners trophy. Hunter-Reay took the lead from Helio Castroneves on the 142md lap, didnt cough it up on a couple of restarts and held on to the IndyCar race Saturday at the Milwaukee Mile. It was a doubly sweet win for Michael Andretti, who fields cars for Hunter-Reay as a team owner and served as the event promoter for the race. "It really is amazing," Hunter-Reay said. "Milwaukee has been so important to IndyCar for so long, and I think this is a huge event for Milwaukee. These two belong together. So I really thank Michael for sticking his neck out, coming back here and really doing it the right way." It was the sixth career victory and first this season for Hunter-Reay. He also won at Milwaukee in 2004 in the now-defunct Champ Car Series, starting from the pole and leading every lap. Tony Kanaan was second, followed by James Hinchcliffe of Oakville, Ont., Oriol Servia and E.J. Viso. Scott Dixon had to serve a drive-through penalty for jumping a restart and finished 11th. He questioned the penalty immediately afterward -- and as it turns out, he was right. "Im actually very excited to see what the hell theyre talking about," Dixon said. "Im disappointed." IndyCar race director Beaux Barfield acknowledged after the race that officials made a mistake. He said a failure in their timing and scoring system caused them to look at the wrong replay. What officials looked was a replay of a previous restart that was waved off by officials at the time and didnt count. Dixon did commit a potential infraction on that restart -- but he didnt do so on the subsequent restart that ended up counting and should not have been penalized. "It was obviously the wrong call, based on the reality of the situation," Barfield said. Barfield took responsibility for the mistake, and said Chip Ganassi Racing officials were "very gracious" when presented with an explanation. Barfield said there wasnt anything officials can do to undo the mistake. Last years Milwaukee winner, Dario Franchitti, started from pole position and dominated the early stages of the race. But he fell back in the field and then spun out and hit the wall on lap 195. Franchitti tangled with Ryan Briscoe shortly before he spun, and said afterward that contact might have broken something on his car. "I was on Ryans inside, but he just kept coming down there," Franchitti said. "I just dont think his spotter told him I was there." Points leader Will Power finished 12th. Hinchcliffe moved up to second in the points. It was a boost for the historic but financially troubled Milwaukee track, which has been hosting racing since 1903 but originally was left off the 2012 IndyCar schedule after not hosting any major racing events in 2010 and drawing a lacklustre crowd for IndyCar last year. Milwaukee was put back on this years schedule after Andretti agreed to serve as the races promoter -- and Andretti announced just before Saturdays race that the event would return in 2013. "Were going to be back here next year, and hopefully for a long time after that," Andretti said. Despite the race being a late addition to the schedule -- and then a rain delay that pushed the start back -- the race drew a significantly better crowd than last year. Franchitti was untouchable in the early stages of the race, leading the first 60-plus laps before making his first pit stop. The race went green until Simona de Silvestro spun on lap 67, bringing out a caution. Franchitti was shuffled back to fourth on the restart, after a few drivers were on pit road when the caution came out -- including Viso, who took the lead on the restart. Justin Wilson then blew an engine on lap 94, pulling to the inside wall and scrambling to get out of the car when it briefly caught fire. It was a tough reversal of fortune for Wilson, who won last week at Texas. After a round of pit stops under caution, Castroneves -- who didnt pit after Wilsons incident -- took the lead. With Castroneves tires later wearing out, Hunter-Reay waited for the right moment, then passed him for the lead on lap 142. "We pounced," Hunter-Reay said. "We were right there ready to go when somebody slipped up." Kanaan is known for his aggressiveness on restarts, but said he was just worried about not getting passed on restarts and defending his position during Saturdays race. "Do you even know how to do that?," Hinchcliffe asked jokingly in the post-race news conference. Kanaan took the good-natured ribbing in stride, answering, "I do not know how to do that."

BRISBANE, Australia -- Caroline Wozniackis first trip to the Brisbane International ended in a 2-6, 6-3, 7-6 (1) first-round loss to Kazakhstan qualifier Ksenia Pervak on Monday. After her early exit, she was quick to dismiss speculation about an engagement to golf No. 1 Rory McIlroy. Wozniacki, who held the year-end No. 1 ranking in 2010 and 2011 but is yet to win a major title, had high-profile support from McIlroy in the crowd and there was a buzz around Pat Rafter Arena amid rumours the pair had become engaged in the off-season. The 22-year-old Danish player was photographed with a new ring on her left hand as she arrived in Australia last week, sparking speculation of pending nuptials. She explained Monday that the ring was a Christmas gift. "It was a Christmas present and it fit on this finger and I put it on, and all of a sudden I hear that Im engaged. But Im not," she said. "So, yeah, its already twice weve had to shut down engagement rumours. Dont worry, we will let you know if that time happens!" On the court, Wozniacki raced to a 4-1 lead before finishing off the first set within a half hour. She started to struggle with her serve as she lost the second set and then had difficulty in the third countering powerful groundstrokes from the left-handed Pervak in the first upset result of the tournament. No. 9-ranked Samantha Stosur was also upset, losing 7-6 (4), 7-5 to No. 41 Sofia Arvidsson of Sweden in a night match, continuing her poor run of form in her native Australia since winning the 2011 U.S. Open. Stosur lost her second match at the Brisbane tournament last year, then had back-to-back first-round losses at the Sydney International and the Australian Open. With eight of the top 10 women in the draw, the Brisbane tournament is a good chance to fine-tune for the Australian Open starting Jan. 14. Now Wozniacki and Stosur will head to Sydney hoping for some decent match prractice. Nike Air Max 2013 Schuhe "I fought until the end. Maybe didnt play my best tennis today, but its tough to expect that from yourself in your first match back," Wozniacki said. "Now I just have to play some practice matches with some of the other girls here and then go to Sydney and hopefully get a couple more there." In other first-round matches, fourth-seeded Angelique Kerber of Germany opened with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 win over Anna Tatishvili of Georgia, French Open finalist Sara Errani beat Russias Olga Puchkova 6-1, 6-3 and American Sloane Stephens beat Slovakias Dominika Cibulkova 6-2, 6-3. Alize Cornet of France advanced to a second-round match against third-seeded Serena Williams with an opening 2-6, 6-3, 6-1 over Australian qualifier Bojana Bobusic, and Germanys Sabine Lisicki opened with a 6-2, 6-4 win over Lucie Safarova of Czech Republic to set up a second-round match against top-ranked Victoria Azarenka. The 103-ranked Pervak, who lost in the first round at 14 tournaments last year, including Brisbane, will play Urzula Radwanska of Poland on Tuesday. Pervak started to hit the lines in the second set against Wozniacki, showing match sharpness honed by playing in the qualifying tournament. She was two points from victory, serving for the match at 5-3 and 30-15, but made a series of unforced errors to get broken and let the 10th-ranked Wozniacki get back into it. Wozniacki held serve at love in the 12th game to force a tiebreaker but Pervak dominated from there, winning the first five points and securing the win with the first of her five match points when her rival missed with a timid forehand service return. In the mens draw, fifth-seeded Kei Nishikori of Japan beat Australias Marinko Matosevic 7-5, 6-2, sixth-seeded Florian Mayer of Germany beat Santiago Giraldo of Colombia 6-4, 6-4 and Jarkko Nieminen of Finland had a 6-3, 2-6, 6-1 win over Julien Benneteau of France.
