FAST FACTS:
Wilson on Champ Car Pole
Today’s pole-winning time of 58.182 seconds by Justin Wilson is the fastest to win a Toronto pole since Cristiano da Matta ran a 58.135 to win the pole in 2002.
A.J. Allmendinger will start on the front row for tomorrow’s race, marking the first time in his three-year career that he has earned three consecutive front-row spots.
Andrew Ranger gained nearly 1.4 seconds today over his Friday qualifying time, making him the only driver to improve more than a second in final qualifying. The effort also earned him five starting spots as he had qualified 11th on Friday before taking sixth today.
All six rookies in the field are in the final six spots on the starting grid for Sunday’s race, marking the first time this season that any of the rookies have failed to outqualify a veteran.
