Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
MONTREAL, Aug. 23 (UPI) -- Alex Tagliani grabbed the pole from Oriol Servia in Saturday's final qualifying session for the Champ Car World Series Molson Indy Montreal.
A Montreal native, Tagliani earned his second pole of the season and fifth of his career on his fifth lap. His Ford-Cosworth covered the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in in 1 minute, 19.665 seconds for an average speed of 122.418 miles per hour.
Canadian drivers have taken the top spot in all three Champ Car events in Canada this season.
Servia secured his first career provisional pole Friday with a mark of 1:21.112, narrowly avoiding a crash, to assure himself a spot on the front row. Car trouble plagued the Spaniard on Saturday.
Bruno Junqueira's lap of 1:19.671 was just six hundredths of a second slower than Tagliani's as the Brazilian starts third. Junqueira started second at the previous two Canadian stops.
