Wilson on pole for "Last Tango in Long Beach"; Tagliani and Perera start 2nd and 3rd


The Newman-Haas driver won his 7th Champ Car pole and first for the team with a speed of 105.898 miles an hour. Alex Tagliani starts second and Franck Perera 3rd. Graham Rahal starts 9th. All the drivers seem sad that the race will be the last for the turbocharged Cosworth Panoz DP-01 chassis...especially Tagliani and Paul Tracy, a four time winner at Long Beach, who will make his last start for owner Gerry Forsythe from 5th.


A lot of people hope the IndyCar series race in Japan can get underway...especially Wilson and Rahal...who can come away with points (unlike the Champ Car teams that did not join the IndyCar series).


We'll join you after the American LeMans Race with the overall winners and the LeMans Prototype Class winners.
