Justin qualifies 9th at Twin Ring Motegi
18-September-2009
Justin and Dale Coyne Racing had a successful first day’s running at Twin Ring Motegi in Japan, qualifying the #18 Z-Line Designs car in 9th position with a four-lap average speed of 199.489 mph. Scott Dixon took pole position for Chip Ganassi Racing (202.031 mph) with KV Racing’s Mario Moraes alongside him on the front row.
"I was very happy with qualifying today," said Justin. "The team had worked hard on the set-up and the car felt great. Every lap I gained confidence and with that came the speed. It's great to see the progress we've made once again. Qualifying inside the top ten on speed means those slow foundation steps at the start of the year are paying off. I hope we can back it up with a strong race tomorrow to really help us in the championship."
The Indy Japan 300 starts at noon local time tomorrow (Saturday Sept. 19). Adjusting for time zones, this is 11 p.m. ET on Friday night for fans in the US and 4 a.m. BST Saturday for those in the UK.
For VERSUS viewers, live High Definition TV coverage begins at 10:30 p.m. ET on Friday. The race will also air live on the IMS Radio Network, XM channel 145 and Sirius channel 211. Fans in the UK will find full, tape delayed coverage of the race on Sky Sports Xtra at 10 a.m. BST on Saturday. Live timing and scoring, audio and video streaming are all available through www.indycar.com.
