08/10/2007 - Sparta, KY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Andretti Green Racing driver Tony Kanaan captured the pole for Saturday night's Meijer Indy 300 at the Kentucky Speedway. The No.11 Dallara Honda circled the 1.5-mile speedway in 24.4307 seconds (218.086 m.p.h.).
The pole victory was Kanaan's second of the season and eighth of his IndyCar career.
"It was a pretty good lap," said Kanaan. "I was shooting for one lap, I knew my second lap would be slower."
Starting on the front row with Kanaan will be teammate and series points leader Dario Franchitti who posted a time of 24.5745 seconds.
Scott Sharp (24.5918) and Scott Dixon (24.6119) will start in row two.
Last week's race at Michigan was a wild race that included a spectacular crash involving the championship leader Franchitti sailing upside down and backwards onto the top of Dixon's Target Chip Ganassi race car.
The event took place on lap 143 and it started when Franchitti and Dan Wheldon touched wheels while fighting for the lead. Franchitti was sent airborne. He landed upside down right in front of Dixon and A.J. Foyt IV who had nowhere to go.
After a lengthy cleanup the race continued with less than 10 drivers still on the track. Despite the limited number of drivers, the finish was still quite a show.
The race came down to Kanaan and Marco Andretti and they raced clean and hard all the way to the checkered flag. Andretti tried four different times to go around the outside of Kanaan and each time he was denied by the 2004 IndyCar champion. The final margin of 0.0595 seconds was one of the closest of the year.
The win coupled with the accident to Franchitti and Dixon helped the No.11 Andretti Green Racing driver close to within 81 points of the leader and 57 points of second place.
In last year's Kentucky race, Sam Hornish Jr. edged Dixon for the win. Saturday night's race is scheduled to drop the green flag at 6:40 p.m. (et).
