Pancho Carter Wins Indy Pole Amid Career Boost
Pancho Carter, at 212.583 mph, lands the pole for the Indianapolis 500, a milestone that boosts his profile and potential earnings though the pole has limited race value. The 34 year old veteran, who began in midgets in 1967 and has one Indy winless start, relishes the attention while eyeing the two weeks of lead up to May 26. Carter notes the pole brings credibility and money through bonuses and endorsements, as he reflects on racing lineage and his persistence through injuries and a long career with Dan Gurney and later Rick Galles.
