WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) -Ryan Briscoe has won the pole for the Camping World Grand Prix at Watkins Glen International.
Briscoe won his second straight pole Saturday on the 11-curve, 3.4-mile road course with a fast time of 1 minute, 28.5970 seconds in the Firestone Fast Six Shootout, breaking the track record held by Helio Castroneves by more than a second.
Justin Wilson finished second for the second straight time, in 1:29.3106, ahead of Scott Dixon, Mario Moraes and Graham Rahal.
Dario Franchitti crashed entering the final turn during the shootout and finished sixth, just ahead of rookie Mike Conway and Danica Patrick.
Castroneves failed to make it to the final round and will start Sunday's race in 14th.
