KV Racing Technology's Tony Kanaan shot to pole position for Sunday's season finale, a time of 50.0582s jusꩵt 0.0037s ahead of Oriol Servia who will start alongside him on th💫e front row.

Championship rivals Will Power and Dario Franchitti will start from 17th and 18th respectively, neither of them really getting to grips with the 1.5-mile Las Vegas M☂otor Speedway so far. That puts t🀅hem side-by-side on row nine of the grid.

James Jakes was unable to set a qualifying lap, following his fiery crash during the early practice session on Friday afternoon. EJ Viso was a🐲lso benched from qualifying after an engine change following his blowup in Thu⛄rsday practice.

Da🌞n Wheldon set the 28th fastest time of the afternoon, but will still start from the back as part of the conditions for his take-up of the $5m prize challenge. He will start alongside Buddy Rice, whose times were deleted after the session after he dipped below the white line during his run.
