Toronto, Canada (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Justin Wilson will start on the pole for
the first time in his IZOD IndyCar Series career after posting the quickest
lap in Saturday's qualifying for the Honda Indy Toronto.
Wilson lapped the 1.721-mile, 11-turn Toronto street circuit in one minute,
0.2710 seconds for his maiden pole in his 43rd IndyCar start. The 31-year-old
Englishman also set a new track qualifying record.
I think this is a great boost after having a couple of difficult races,"
Wilson said. "We've been working really hard, but we just haven't got the
results. To come in and get a result, we've been close in the Firestone Fast
Six a few times, but it's just not quite happened, so this really is a big
morale boost for everyone on the team. We're just going to enjoy the race
tomorrow."
Wilson, in his first year driving for Dreyer and Reinbold Racing, gave the
team its second pole. Sarah Fisher recorded DRR's first pole in 2002 at
Kentucky.
Will Power from Team Penske qualified 0.19 seconds behind Wilson to grab the
outside pole. Wilson denied Penske from winning its ninth straight pole.
"I didn't get the most out of the last sector, but [Wilson] laid down a really
quick time," Power said. "To have the car on the front row, we'll see if we
can beat him in the race tomorrow."
Power, the current points leader, has scored the most victories so far this
season with three, including a win two weeks ago at the Watkins Glen, NY road
course.
Helio Castroneves, also from Penske, qualified third, while Ryan Hunter-Reay
from Andretti Autosport took the fourth spot.
Chip Ganassi Racing teammates Dario Franchitti and Scott Dixon will share the
third row. Franchitti, the defending series champion and last year's race
winner at Toronto, qualified fifth, while Dixon took sixth.
Power's lead is 32 points over Franchitti.
Ryan Briscoe will start seventh, followed by Tony Kanaan, Alex Tagliani and
Marco Andretti.
Danica Patrick had her best road/street course qualifying performance so far
this season with a 12th-place finish.
"I was pleased with our qualifying run today," Patrick said. "It was a good
step in the right direction. I'm happy with the car, and hopefully we can have
a decent day tomorrow."
Canadian Paul Tracy will start 24th in front of his home crowd. Tracy spun out
during his run during the first qualifying session.
Sunday's IndyCar race at Toronto is scheduled to start at 12:30 p.m. (et).

Kurt Warner to start, Matt Leinart to watch
Despite the debate that's swirling , Kurt Warner will remain the starting quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals, coach Dennis Green said today. The Arizona Cardinals are the +7 point underdog at online sportsbook MySportsbook.com for this Sunday's game.
Green's comment came in a statement released by the team following an ESPN report that Green decided that rookie Matt Leinart would replace Warner as starter for Sunday's game at Atlanta.
"Generally talking about the starting lineup is not something we do," Green told the AP. "However, given the speculation that was out there we want to make it clear. We're disappointed after last week, but we still expect to be a playoff football team and we fully expect Kurt Warner to be the quarterback that leads us. That has not changed."
