Quick Take

Strategy was almost as important as speed on Pole Day as Scott Dixon took the top spot for the Indianapolis 500 with a big gamble by his Chip Ganassi Racing team. Dixon and teammate Dan Wheldon, who took the second spot, both took advantage of Indy's unique qualifying format, which allows each entry up to three tries on each of the four days of time trials. Dixon, who has three pole positions in five tries this season, got the biggest benefit of the team strategy, canceling out a four-lap average of 225.178 mph earlier in the day and making it pay off with four laps at 226.366 that held up for Ganassi's third Indy pole.
