	Bruno Junqueira Wins Pole for 2002 Indy 500			Junqueira had been standing inside the Ganassi team's garage, arms folded tightly across the chest of his brilliantly red driving suit, staring intently at a small TV set like a spelling bee contestant waiting to see if his main challenger got the final word wrong.
		Junqueira then put one hand on the front of his driving suit, so red that the cameras couldn't reproduce its brightness, and clutched it like he was having chest pains.
		For Junqueira's part, he welcomed the prospect of seeing familiar faces, most of whom he raced against in go-karts as a youngster, around him at the front of the Indy 500 grid.

		Even more maddening was the fact that Junqueira wasn’t even the fastest guy in his shop through much of the first half of the year, as rookie Sebastien Bourdais took his Newman/Haas ride to the pole in three of the first five races, winning two of those.
		A bicycle motocrosser as a very young boy, Junqueira caught the karting bug at the age of nine but reports that it took him a while to convince his father that he was ready for the next step.
		An avid cyclist, Junqueira notes that many of his foes are fit enough to make it to the end of a race, but it is the ability to be strong at the end of the day that can make the difference.

		Bruno Junqueira was raised as a road racer and he put that experience to use today in winning the first road course pole position of his CART FedEx Championship Series career.
		Junqueira clocked the best lap of 142.659 mph, then crashed into a tire barrier while avoiding a slower car on the ensuing lap that may have been even faster.
		Bruno obviously had the confidence in his Bridgestones to push his car to the limits on the pole-winning lap, and on the next lap that might have been quicker had he been able to complete it.
