INDY PRO SERIES NOTES:

* Winner/pole setter records on the line: The Indy Pro Series records for most race winners and pole winners in a season could both be tied this weekend. Five drivers have won races this year and five have won poles. The record for both categories is six. Last year, six drivers won races while in 2003, six drivers won poles.

* Wilson a top-10 finisher: Bobby Wilson is the only driver to finish in the top 10 of every event so far in 2006. He's also the only driver to have been running at the finish of each race. Wilson leads all drivers with 237 laps completed.

* Three veterans in the group: Nick Bussell, Jaime Camara and Chris Festa will make their 21st consecutive starts in the Sunbelt Rentals 100.

* Five race winners in the field: Five winners of Indy Pro Series races are entered in the Sunbelt Rentals 100. Jaime Camara (1 win), James Chesson (1) Wade Cunningham (2), Alex Lloyd (1) and Bobby Wilson (1) will look to increase their series win totals.
