Vegas Saturday Qual
Vegas Saturday Qual
Lots of surprises!
This is Will Power's second pole so not a big surprise. But Tagliani over
teammate Wilson, and Dominquez over Tracy is big news/ Well., Tracy had the
front row spot reserved by getting pole on the first day so perhaps he felt
he didn't need to try so hard.
Bordais had a bad day, going off track in the pre-qual practice session and
then banging the wall on his first lap. Very strange.
Bruno, in Dale Coyne's low budget ride was 3rd for a while and would up 5th,
and will start 6th.. Not bad for a guy who just got in the car after only a
half day at Laguna a month ago.
This should be interesting. I do not see a lot of places to make an easy
pass and this track is very fast. There could be some big wrecks. Yikes.

Re: Vegas Saturday Qual

Well, I think it was a surprise because it's only his second career pole. That
and being almost a second faster than everyone else in a brand new car.
Besides, Power was only 7th and 1.2 seconds slower in Friday qualifying. The
only real indication he could grab pole was from Saturday morning practice.
If a driver had his first career pole a couple of years ago, would you
consider it "not a surprise"?
