- The 2001 Marconi Grand Prix of Cleveland was a Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART) motor race held on July 1, 2001, at Burke Lakefront Airport in Cleveland, Ohio, United States. It was the 9th round of the 2001 CART FedEx Championship Series season. Team Green driver Dario Franchitti won the race after narrowly escaping a first-turn pile-up and then by gambling on a fuel-saving strategy that saw his car run out of fuel just after crossing the finish line ahead of a hard-charging Memo Gidley and Bryan Herta. Franchitti had won his first race since 1999 and the first for Team Green since Vancouver in 2000, vaulting the driver to 3rd in the points standings. Gidley took his first career podium in only his second start for Chip Ganassi Racing after replacing Nicolas Minassian at the previous race in Portland. Herta gave Forsythe Racing its first podium of the season after a dismal start to 2001. The race was a battle of multiple strategies after a rained-out qualifying session the day before produced an unusual starting grid; fuel mileage, the number of pit stops, and a chaotic first-lap incident ultimately determined the outcome of the race.

- It's not a question of us not wanting to be at Michigan, the fact is that Michigan has an alternative plan that doesn't include us ... The fact that we're not going to be racing at Michigan anymore is disappointing, but we still have a marquee event at Fontana through 2004. (en)
- I don't feel bad about the guys in the back to be honest. I've had good cars before and had to be in the back. I'm sure it's frustrating for them because of the circumstances. But I'm happy that this happened because maybe the system will change for the better to make it more fair for everyone. (en)
- It's a giant pain in the butt because when it started to sprinkle, we didn't go right out. We didn't know what to do. Wets? Dry tires? You go around in circles biting your own tail. It was our mistake not to get out there when the track was faster. (en)
- We got lucky that it rained on the second group, but the car was good. Maybe we would have been in the Top 10 or 12. That's the first time we had better track conditions than them [the second group]; we're still at a disadvantage. (en)
