Finally, Dario Franchitti looked liked the Dario we all know and love today in qualifying at Long Beach, CA. The Indy race (street race, thus a ‘parade”) will be televised tomorrow at 4:00 pm EST on NBC sports network. Uh oh, Lakers are on ABC at 3:30 pm EST. Well, guess the DVR and remote will have to do it’s job! Anyhow, Dario came in first after the first two rounds of qualifying and the “fast six” which means he will be the pole sitter for the 30th time in his career. He has not achieved this since last year in Toronto. Dario has had a rough start this year, and Indy fans and Dario fans are hoping he will turn things around tomorrow and get himself where he needs to be before the Indy 500 on May 26th. As many know, he is going through a divorce from actress/activist, Ashley Judd, and one hopes his head is where it needs to be. My Indy insider tells me he is the once who initiated the divorce. This is of course rumor so to speak, but still, inquiring minds want to know. Best to them both and here’s to hoping for a great race tomorrow and Dario racing like the Dario Franchitti that has been the series champion for the past four years! The top six finishers today were as follows: 1 Franchitti, 2 Hunter-Reay, 3 Power, 4 Sato, 5 Conway, and 6 Castroneves (current point leader).
