Penske's Ryan Briscoe made his fastest lap at the end of the qualifying session to beat Justin Wilson who had set the fastest time up to that point and claimed his first IRL IndyCar Series pole position at Watkins Glen.
The Australian beat Newman/Haas/Lanigan's Justin Wilson to the top spot by a narrow margin of 0.03 seconds. Another superb run for Ryan Hunter-Reay who qualified third, edging championship leader Scott Dixon. Dixon's teammate Helio Castroneves will have to start at the back as he was unable to set a time due to mechanical problems. Qualifying Results: Pos Driver Team Time 1.
