Justin qualifies 15th at Chicagoland Speedway 28-August-2009
Justin and Dale Coyne Racing qualified 15th for Saturday night’s Peak Antifreeze and Motor Oil Indy 300 at Chicagoland Speedway. The #18 Z-Line Designs – Office Max car was 4th in line to qualify around the 1.5 mile tri-oval and Justin recorded a four-lap average speed of 213.011 mph. Team Penske locked out the front row, with Ryan Briscoe on pole (215.364 mph) alongside Helio Castroneves. Justin’s qualifying performance came after a productive morning practice session where he set the 11th fastest time and he’s confident of a strong performance in tomorrow’s race.

This is the best I’ve felt on the 1.5 mile ovals this year,” said Justin. “The #18 Z-Line Designs – Office Max car is working well and feels good out on the track. We’re not making too many changes to the car for tomorrow’s race and I’m looking forward to a good run.”

Live coverage of Saturday night’s event begins at 9 p.m. EDT in High Definition on VERSUS. The race will also air live on the IMS Radio Network, XM channel 145 and Sirius channel 211. Fans in the UK will find tape delayed race coverage on Sky Sports 2 at 9 a.m. BST on Sunday August 30.
