Rain Sets Japan Grid

MOTEGI, Japan, Friday, April 21, 2006 - Helio Castroneves and Scott Dixon will share the front row for the Indy Japan 300 after persistent rain washed out Marlboro Pole qualifying.
The starting field for the event was set by entrant points. When rain cancels qualifying, usually practice speeds are the criteria for setting the grid. But because cars in the second group of rain-delayed sessions a day earlier were shortened 10 minutes and there was not an opportunity to practice in the morning, Castroneves will sit on the pole by default.
