hopefully for 2010 when IRL introduces the new car, they'll switch to turbo v8's like champcar. Bringing in Toyota, Cosworth and other manufactures, get them back to 1000hp like in 1999-2001.

FONTANA, Calif.- Gil de Ferran of Marlboro Team Penske added another glittering accomplishment to a FedEx Championship Series season already bursting with them when he established a new world closed-course speed record while claiming the pole position for Sunday's Marlboro 500 Presented by Toyota (2:30 p.m. ET Sunday, live, ESPN) at California Speedway.
De Ferran's lap of 241.428 miles per hour (30.255 seconds) on the two-mile superspeedway crumbled the previous world closed-course mark of 240.942 miles per hour (30.316 seconds) established by Mauricio Gugelmin of PacWest Racing while winning the 1997 pole position here. Equally as important, de Ferran added a point to his championship lead, which now stands at six (154-148) over Adrian Fernandez of Patrick Racing heading into Sunday's 20th and final round of the FedEx Championship Series season.
