Franchitti disappointed, fails to qualify at Sonoma

Dario Franchitti has led more laps at Infineon Raceway than any other IndyCar driver, pacing 62 circuits around the serpentine Northern California track. He ranks second among all open-wheelers in money won at Sonoma, his $235,700 in earnings bettered only by reigning Indianapolis 500 champion Scott Dixon. He has one pole and three top-five finishes in as many starts on the road course, including a runner-up result in 2006. (link)
