Kansas qualifying.

Conditions are currently notlooking good. The IndyCar Series was able to fit qualifying. Kansas is currently being pounded by rain and heavy winds. The truck race has been canceled until Monday morning at 10 a.m. I as well as everyone else hopes that the weather will clear over night so the IndyCar Series and Firestone Indy Lights can run tomorrow.
The big story of the day has to be Newman Haas Lanigan Racing taking the front row. Graham Rahal had the fastest qualifying speed at 211.311. Doornbos had the 4th fastest but was bumped up to row 1 after Dario Franchitti and Helio Castroneves qualifying times were disqualified due to them dipping below the white line. Danica who was 5th fastest at 210.470 will now start in P3.
Wade Cunningham will start on pole tomorrow for the Firestone Indy Lights. He had a best speed of 187.458. Roudning out the top 5 are Sebastian Saavedra, Ana Beatriz, J.R. Hildebrand, and Pippa Mann. Junior Strous who is the current points leader will start P17.
You an watch the IndyCar Series in the Kansas Speedway Road Runner Turbo Indy 300 tomorrow at 4 p.m. on VERSUS and VERSUS HD
