LEXINGTON, Ohio — Sebastien Bourdais earned his second Verizon P1 Award of the season by recording the best time on his final lap in the Firestone Fast Six shootout for the Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio.

It was the 33rd career pole for the four-time Champ Car champion to tie Dario Franchitti for seventh all time. Bourdais’ 32nd pole came two weeks ago for Race 1 of the Honda Indy Toronto, which he won for his 32nd career victory and first since 2007.

Bourdais’ final lap of 1 minute, 24.1610 seconds in the No. 11 Mistic KVSH Racing car overtook Josef Newgarden (1:24.6787) in the No. 67 Hartman Oil/Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing car.
