Scott Dixon insists that Ganassi Racing wasn't trying to bamboozle anybody. After struggling last week and failing to put a car in the fast nine for qualifying, the team led by defending Indy 500 winner Tony Kanaan staged a rally on Carb Day. Kanaan was left atop the leaderboard Friday with a lap of 227.838 mph, while Dixon was next-fastest at 227.773 mph. ''We definitely didn't do it on purpose,'' said Dixon, who will start in the middle of the fourth row Sunday. I think we are normally.'' Kanaan will start on the inside of the sixth row as he attempts to become the first back-to-back winner since Helio Castroneves in 2003.
