Pruett wins pole in Mexico

UPDATE A reader writes, What a farce! Imagine that….a random Mexican driver starts on the front row for the NASCAR race in Mexico….What a circus….I finally understand why some people are so adamant about not considering racing a sport when all they do is watch NASCAR and its 'managed' racing.

03/03/07 At a track that looked like a ghost town (very few fans in attendance) Scott Pruett (right) drove his Chip Ganassi/Felix Sabates Dodge to a fast lap of 87.458s to win the pole position for Sunday's NASCAR Busch race in Mexico City for the Telcel-Motorola 200 at Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez. Mexican Carlos Contreras will start 2nd in a Dodge and Pruett's teammate Juan Montoya will start 3rd. Photo courtesy of Dodge/Getty Images
