Provisional Qualifying

[Raven]

It was a battle of contrasting driving styles, but when the checkered flag fell in Friday qualifying for Sunday's Honda Indy 300, Bruno Junqueira barely edged Paul Tracy for the provisional pole. After easily breaking the three-year-old track record, Paul Tracy's aggressive style seemingly paid off. However, with four minutes to go, the smoothness of Junqueira netted the Brazilian quick time.
