Report
from the Nazareth Qualifying Session
Max's
first qualifying run on a short oval was a short and slightly
disappointing one. His only timed lap was 21.117 seconds,
translating into a 161.273 mph average on the .946mile
Nazareth Speedway. It was an improvement of .3 seconds over the fastest
lap he had run in practice.
That lap meant that he would start 24th on the grid. Bruno
Junqueira was the fastest qualifier at 19.700 seconds, and 172.873 mph.
Max had mistakenly shifted down from fifth to fourth gear for a
corner, instead of from sixth to fifth and had a little bobble in
turn two. This was enough to cause his second and final qualifying
lap to start out slower than the first. He wisely pulled the car
into the pits, not completing his second lap.
