Fort Worth, TX (My Sportsbook) - Scott Dixon won the pole for Saturday night's Bombardier Learjet 550 at the Texas Motor Speedway. The No.9 Target Chip Ganassi Racing driver circled the high-speed, 1.5-mile oval four times in one minute, 37.5063 (214.878 m.p.h.).

The pole victory was Dixon's fourth of the season and 12th of his IndyCar career.

"The Target guys have been giving me great cars," said Dixon.

Starting alongside the Indianapolis 500 winner will be Helio Castroneves who posted a time of 1:37.5063.

Ryan Briscoe (1:37.9398) and Hideki Mutoh (1:38.1426) will make up row two.

With 11 races over the next 14 weeks, the IndyCar championship picture will clear up quickly. Right now that picture is very cloudy with 10 drivers within 104 points of leader Dixon.

Dixon and his No.9 Target Chip Ganassi Racing team have certainly earned the top spot with two wins (including the Indianapolis 500), five top-threes and a series-leading 576 lap led.

But Castroneves (-28) has stayed close by being consistent. The Brazilian has collected six consecutive top-fives although he has yet to win this year (Dancing with the Stars doesn't count).

Behind these two, Dan Wheldon (Dixon's teammate) and Andretti Green Racing's Tony Kanaan are 49 and 60 points back, respectively.

The Texas Motor Speedway, along with the Chicagoland Speedway always produces exciting and close finishes. Two of the top-five closest finishes in IndyCar history took place at TMS. In June 2002, Jeff Ward beat Al Unser Jr. by 0.0111 seconds and an even closer finish took place in September of that year when Hornish Jr. squeezed out a 0.0096-second victory over Castroneves.

The race is scheduled to drop the green flag on Saturday at 9 p.m. (et).
