WEST ALLIS, Wis. (AP) For the first time in eight years, Americans have qualified for the top two spots in a Champ Car World Series race.<br>
<br>
Jimmy Vasser and A-J Allmendinger today grabbed the top two spots for tomorrow's Road Runner 225 at the Milwaukee Mile.<br>
<br>
Vasser took his ninth career pole and first since the spring of 2002 with a lap of 176-point-two miles per hour.<br>
<br>
The qualifying puts Vasser, the oldest driver in the series at 39, on the front row along with last year's top Champ Car rookie.<br>

The last time two Americans started from the front row at a Champ Car event was at California Speedway in 1998, when Scott Pruett started from the pole alongside Vasser.
