Dario Franchitti is your Pole winner at Texas for tomorrow nights Bombardier 500. Judd’s lap of 209.690 was nearly a mile an hour faster than Indy 500 winner Buddy Rice. But the real story continues to be the Honda dominance.

Honda owns the top 5 positions and 6 of the top 10 out of the 22 car field. The slowest qualifier was Scott Sharp with a Toyota at 203.740. Alex Baron failed to post a speed.

With Horny and the Gentleman Dan Weldon back in row 6 it should make for an interesting start. You know Horny is going to want to go forward and Weldon has just been on fire this year.

Noticeably absent is Sarah. I thought maybe she would have a ride for this race, but she doesn’t. I’m also not sure why AJ didn’t bother to try to stick Larry in the field. I sure would have liked to have had 24.

Still it should be a good race. I will predict that TK will win, with Horny second and Rice third. Oh, and good luck Mike, who starts back in the 19th position.
