    The first time Dario Franchitti won the pole position this year, he also won the race and climbed into a first-place tie in the IndyCar Series standings.

    He captured the pole for a second time Saturday, but he's already way out in front in total points.

    Franchitti can add to his 63-point lead over Will Power on Sunday in the 225-mile race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, a relatively flat, one-mile oval like the one at the Milwaukee Mile, where his victory two months ago tied him with Power for the top spot.

    But Franchitti, who won the IndyCar series the past two years, downplayed the similarities between the two tracks.
