Reed Sorenson wrote his name in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway history books on Saturday as he scored his first Nextel Cup Bud Pole Award on a banner day for his Chip Ganassi Racing team.

The 21 year-old Cup Series sophomore became the youngest polesitter in the history of either the Indianapolis 500 or the Brickyard 400, turning a best lap of 48.858secs in his #41 Target Dodge, nearly two tenths of a second quicker than second fastest man, his Ganassi teammate Juan Montoya.

2000 Indianapolis 500 Champion Montoya couldn't quite get underneath the 49-second barrier, setting a best time of 49.048secs to keep qualifying ace Ryan Newman on row two as Dodge's swept the top three positions.

Newman's #12 Penske Racing entry was just five hundredths slower than Montoya with Dale Earnhardt Jr the best of the Chevrolet's in fourth and Kasey Kahne, much happier with the 2006 Dodge now being used by Evernham Motorsports, rounding out the top five.

Kurt Busch was the fifth Dodge driver in the top six in the second Penske entry while Jeff Burton, Greg Biffle, Casey Mears and Denny Hamlin rounded out the top ten.

Tony Raines was eleventh fastest for Hall of Fame Racing with David Stremme 12th in the third Ganassi entry. Mark Martin will start 13th with Tony Stewart 14th and Scott Riggs, fastest of the 'go or go home' drivers in 16th.

Joining Riggs in Sunday's 160-lap Allstate 400 will be Scott Wimmer in a fourth RCR Chevrolet, Brian Vickers, Dave Blaney, David Reutimann, the returning Ken Schrader, Ward Burton and Terry Labonte, who was able to use a Past Champions provisional to put the #55 Michael Waltrip Racing entry in the show.

Missing the cut were Joe Nemechek in the new #08 E&M Motorsports entry, AJ Allmendinger, Kevin Lepage, Dale Jarrett, Jeremy Mayfield and Kenny Wallace.
