Quote selected text Published May 26th, 2006 in Main

Marlboro Team Penske’s domination of the Month of May continued on Miller Lite Carb Day.

Sam Hornish Jr., the WorldPoints Visa Card pole winner for the May 28 classic, topped the speed chart for the final practice session, the final opportunity for teams to fine-tune their cars before Race Day.

Hornish, driving the No. 6 Marlboro Team Penske Dallara/Honda/Firestone, posted a fast lap of 220.698 mph during the one-hour window on the 2.5-mile oval.

Delphi Fernandez Racing’s Scott Sharp (220.316 mph) was second, Target Chip Ganassi Racing teammates Scott Dixon (219.992 mph) and Dan Wheldon (219.847 mph) were third and fourth, respectively. Tony Kanaan (219.611 mph) rounded out the top five.
