Justin Wilson made the loudest noise in final qualifying session of the 2005 season source: champcarworldseries.com The complete results of the session at cart.com Almost the forgotten man in the hunt for the 2005 Bridgestone Presents The Champ Car World Series Powered by Ford championship, Justin Wilson (#9 Intel Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone) made the loudest noise as the series ran its final qualifying session of the 2005 campaign on a sunny Saturday in Mexico City. Sometimes lost in the shuffle of Sebastien Bourdais' (#1 McDonald's Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone) championship, Oriol Servia's (#2 PacifiCare Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone) breakout year and the trials and tribulations of the mercurial Paul Tracy, (#3 Indeck Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone), Wilson has quietly established himself as one of the top young drivers in motorsports in 2005. The soft-spoken Brit did all his talking with the loud pedal today at Mexico City's Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, taking the Bridgestone Pole Award for tomorrow's Gran Premio Telmex/Tecate Presented by Banamex. Wilson lapped the challenging 2.786-mile road course in 1:26.602 (115.813 mph) to take his second pole of the season and his first since the Portland race back in June. He led a 1-2 RuSPORT sweep of the front row for Sunday's 70-lap event, joining Friday qualifying leader A.J. Allmendinger (#10 Western Union Ford-Cosworth/Lola/Bridgestone) on the front row, with Allmendinger scoring the second starting spot by virtue of his leading the Friday qualifying session.
