#66 Pioneer-WorldCom/Mo Nunn Racing Honda-Reynard
Molson Indy Toronto - Qualifying Notes/Quotes - Saturday, July 14, 2001
Exhibition Place - Toronto, Ontario, Canada - 1.721-Mile Temporary Street
Course
Round 10 of 21 on the 2001 CART FedEx Championship Series

Alex Zanardi and the #66 Pioneer-WorldCom/Mo Nunn Racing Honda-Reynard
turned in a fast qualifying lap of 58.945 seconds (an average of 107.185
mph) to take the outside-12th-row starting position for Sunday's Molson Indy
Toronto at Exhibition Place.  Zanardi's time was 11th-fastest in the first
of two qualifying groups to tackle the 1.721-mile temporary road course
today.

Teammate Tony Kanaan and the #55 Hollywood/Mo Nunn Racing Honda-Reynard
qualified fourth with a fast lap of 57.923 seconds (109.076 mph). Kanaan's
lap was the fastest among the first-group qualifiers, made up primarily of
drivers from the lower half of the driver points standings entering the
weekend.  The top group time today earned Kanaan a spot in the "fast group"
qualifying session for the next road course event at Mid-Ohio next month.
Defending series champion Gil de Ferran grabbed the pole today with a fast
qualifying lap of 57.703 seconds (109.492 mph) with his teammate, Helio
Castroneves, grabbing the outside-front-row starting spot at 57.767 seconds
(109.370 mph).  Kenny Brack was third at 57.886 seconds (109.146 mph).

Race time Sunday is 1p.m. EDT with a live broadcast set for ABC-TV.  Sunday
morning's 30-minute warm-up session begins at 9 a.m.  The CART2DAY warm-up
show will be broadcast at 11 a.m. EDT Sunday.

ALEX ZANARDI

"Obviously it's been a struggle for us so far this weekend.  This is
certainly not where we want to be starting the race tomorrow.  We'll just
have to run a strategic race and stay out of trouble.  There are always a
lot of incidents here, so we just can't put ourselves in a position to get
caught up in anything.  One positive thing in the last two days is that we
do have a very consistent car, especially with full tanks.  My engineers
worked some magic on Saturday night at Cleveland two weeks ago because we
had a very good race car there.  I'm hoping we can do the same thing here
tonight."
