Sullivan Will Start on the Pole

Danny Sullivan, still unemployed for 1991, gave himself another bargaining chip Saturday when he qualified his Penske-Chevy at 110.113 m.p.h. to win the pole for today’s Champion Spark Plug 300 at Laguna Seca Raceway.

Sullivan will be making his final appearance for the Penske team after a six-year career that included a victory in the 1985 Indianapolis 500 and a national driving championship in 1988. Mario Andretti, in a Lola-Chevy, will start alongside Sullivan after a 109.547 lap.

The 300-kilometer race will close the CART Indy car season.
