IndyCar: 2010 Firestone 550 at Texas Motor Speedway [SPOILERS]
 

Filed under: Motorsports, Honda, Racing


The IndyCar Series didn't take much of a break after the 94th running of the Indianapolis 500. Before the celebratory milk even had a chance to curdle at the corners of 500-champ Dario Franchitti's mouth, the whole Series was already headed to Texas Motor Speedway for the 2010 Firestone 550.

Dario was looking to become the third Indy 500 winner in a row to claim victory in Texas as well, although the flying Scot had never mounted the top step of the podium in the Lone Star state. In his favor was the fact that his Chip Ganassi team, along with Team Penske and Andretti Autosport had won every single one of the last 50 oval races in the series amongst themselves.

Qualifying was held on Friday afternoon, with 4-lap averages looking to be in the 212-215 mile per hour range. The race was going down on Saturday afternoon, but before that could happen, 26 cars needed to make it through qualifying. Follow the jump to see how it played out.
