ROJAS PUTS LEXUS ON FRONT ROW AT MID-OHIOHeavy morning rains followed by increasing heat and humidity left most of the competitors gambling on qualifying set-ups. Rojas held the top spot until the final minutes of the session when Jon Fogarty nipped him for the pole position.
Rojas will co-drive with Scott Pruett in Saturday’s race. The green flag is scheduled to drop at 5:00 p.m. EDT, with SPEED providing live coverage.

- Lexus will be looking for its second consecutive win and its 25th in the series since 2004 on Saturday.
- The Ganassi/Lexus team has earned three podium finishes at Mid-Ohio, with Scott Pruett and Max Papis winning in 2004, while Pruett combined with Luis Diaz to place second in 2005 and 2006.

Memo Rojas, #01 Telmex Lexus: “We didn’t have much time on the track this morning with the rain, so I think all of the teams were scrambling for their set-up today. The conditions really changed a lot. We’re not totally pleased with the car, so we’re going to have to make some changes in tomorrow’s warm-up. It’s hard to predict what will happen tomorrow.”
