Let's head north to Mid-Ohio and take on a road course... Will the defending winner, Scott Dixon, make it 2 in a row at this popular venue and extend his current streak?

Thought everyone would be interested in the qualifying procedure for Mid-Ohio as it's different from the standard "oval" qualifying.

Road/Street Courses
The popular “Firestone Fast Six” shootout for starting positions on the first three rows returns for 2008, but instead of single-lap qualifying there will be three knockout rounds to determine who participates in the 10-minute session.
-- Two groups of randomly assigned cars competefor 20 minutes each. The fastest six cars from each group advance to another round of qualifying. The remaining cars will set positions 13 down on the starting grid based on fastest lap time.
-- The 12 advancing cars enter a 15-minute group qualifying session with all previous times voided. Following that session, the fastest six cars will advance to the Firestone Fast Six. The remaining six cars will fill positions 7-12 on the starting grid based on their fastest laps from that session.
-- Once again, all times will be erased and the six finalists will battle for 10 minutes with the PEAK Motor Oil Pole Award as the prize based on lap time. It also sets the remainder of the first three rows.
