INDIANAPOLIS -- During an Indianapolis 500 Day 1 of qualifying where 20 cars or more came in with a legitimate shot at making Sunday's Fast 12, Chip Ganassi ...

Fellow rookie David Malukas followed, and for a moment, the Dale Coyne Racing driver thought he had worked his way into the Fast 12 in a jump from 17th to 12th. Instead of Karam's 0.5 mph jump in four-lap average speed, McLaughlin's fell nearly 1.5 mph, and he lost 11 spots on the grid and will start 26th. The Team Penske driver sat 13th after the first round of runs but had slid back further to 15th via Malukas and Sato's second runs. Out of precaution, his team began changing out his engine following practice, and in doing so, missed his initial qualifying run of 17th in the order. But the next driver in line, Malukas' teammate Sato, knocked Malukas down a peg to 13th, which is where the Indy Lights rookie finished up. Scott McLaughlin, next in line in the Fast Lane when Karam's 2nd run was initially called off, had no such luck. >>Juan Pablo Montoya's No. 6 Chevy failed its pre-qualifying technical inspection, meaning the Arrow McLaren SP driver was forced to give up his spot of rolling off ninth in line. After Andretti stepped out, he said the maneuver had significantly impeded the lead-in to his run. Though Marco was yet to start his run, he had to slam on the brakes in order to swerve and avoid the Dale Coyne Racing car. And yet in a day full of storm watching, record-setting laps, odd penalties, rain and restarts, CGR's achievement was hardly a blip on the radar. But his impact on the day's action had only begun. A pair of IndyCar's youngest stars, Pato O'Ward and Rinus VeeKay, went off first and second, respectively, to kick off qualifying, and not only did they go untouched, but few have ever run faster.

The final moments of drama came when Sage Karam was on track and readying to try and improve his speed and rain began to fall. Making matters worse, Andretti was slowed by Takuma Sato who remained on the track during his cooldown lap instead of moving to the warmup lane entering Turn 3. “Starting the lap on the brakes because Sato stopped in the middle of 3… Although he recovered somewhat on the third and fourth laps, his average was a disappointing 226.108mph, which left the 2020 Indy 500 polesitter at the bottom of the grid with an average of 226.108mph. Fearing imminent failure in the 2.2-liter twin-turbo V6, an engine change was made which forced the team to miss its qualifying spot and join Montoya at the bottom of the list. The team reported the failure was due to a “broken component” and as a result of the issue lost their guaranteed qualifying run which was scheduled to take place ninth in the draw.

Winner on the road course just one week ago, Herta was making his qualifying attempt when his Honda engine suddenly shut off. Only spots 13 through 33 were locked in Saturday, and the top 12 return Sunday for a shootout for the pole. McLaughlin was 15th on the board when his time was forfeited; the New Zealander went even slower and dropped to 26th. Wilson had a gearbox issue Saturday and needed an engine change and never got on track. “When they saw me, the look in their eyes. By clicking submit, you are agreeing to our Terms and Conditions & Privacy Policy. And Team Penske got bit by the weather when it pulled Scott McLaughlin's qualifying time late Saturday afternoon and sent him back out to try to crack the top 12. “I think the speed scared my kids,” Johnson said. NASCAR star Jimmie Johnson qualified for his first Indy 500 and his Chip Ganassi Racing team showed it might be the strongest organization at Indy right now. Sato had an rollercoaster session; he was disqualified following his first qualifying attempt for interfering with Marco Andretti's lap. IndyCar called it a day about 70 minutes short of the scheduled completion. Penske teammate Josef Newgarden followed McLaughlin out for his own attempt to make the top 12, but his run was halted when lightning flashed.

In his first time qualifying on the oval at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Jimmie Johnson turned in a speedy four laps for the sixth best result.

31. (30) Christian Lungaard (R), Honda, Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, 227.053 28. (14) Kyle Kirkwood (R), Chevrolet, A.J. Foyt Racing, 229.406 “I know my kids were booing everyone going after me on TV,” he said. But neither had experienced anything similar to the pageantry of the Indy 500. Johnson said the qualifying process was more intense than its equivalent at the Daytona 500, which he won twice. “So to gain that confidence, feel good about things, it’s just been a lot of fun.” Johnson is excited to be in Indianapolis and has loved every part of the past week; saying that repeatedly during his press conferences. They’re two of the least experienced drivers in the series, and yet both excelled Saturday against drivers with more experience in that particular form of racing. It’s definitely something that every driver should do in the world.” Also like Johnson, he was about to begin his qualifying run for his first Indy 500. Johnson watched the 2021 500 from that very box, feeling left out of the action. Beside the track, right next to where Johnson started his car, sat the NBC pit box.

With nearly half of the spots in the running order still to be decided, Rinus VeeKay hsa.

During Friday's practice, he owned the fastest speed (232.789 mph). This year he just qualified for his first Indy 500. Last year this guy was sitting next to me announcing his first Indy 500.. The seven-time NASCAR Cup Series champion didn't run in the Indy 500, either. Andretti's streak of finishing outside of the top 10 could extend to five years because he'll be opening at No. 23. He didn't hide his frustration with how the day unfolded. A speed of 231.883 mph in practice will have given him some optimism for this year. The 30-year-old has struggled more recently, though, placing 27th in 2020 and 29th in 2021. - Will Power (231.842 mph) - Jimmie Johnson (232.398 mph) - Pato O'Ward (233.037 mph) That doesn't guarantee VeeKay will be sitting on the pole on May 29, though.

Rinus VeeKay went out second and set the fastest four-lap qualifying average on Saturday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. With a staggering opening lap of ...

If there was one qualifier who lost out more than the rest on Saturday, it was Penske’s McLaughlin who earned P15 on his first run but fell to P26 after pulling his speed to make a second qualifying attempt. Adversity reigned in other corners of Gasoline Alley as Colton Herta and more had days to forget. Best among the Hondas was defending NTT IndyCar Series champion Alex Palou who produced a 232.774mph—just .001mph shy of matching Rosenqvist—in the No. 10 Chip Ganassi Racing entry. After that hour-long delay was resolved, Karam ran again, as did Penske’s Scott McLaughlin, before heavier rain fell, leading IndyCar to cut the day short by one hour. We’re running really well in our car and the No. 7 car is also really strong. The call locked positions 13 through 33 for the race, and per the qualifying rules, those drivers are done until Monday’s two-hour practice session opens. Thanks to the 234.702mph tour, VeeKay also the recorded third-fastest qualifying lap in Indy 500 history. On a more positive note, A.J. Foyt Racing’s JR Hildebrand found some of the speed and chassis balance he was lacking all week on the way to 17th (231.112mph) and Juncos Hollinger Racing’s Callum Ilott, who took a second shot at qualifying later in the afternoon, produced 19th as a rookie (230.961mph). Tomorrow is all about who can get the quickest two times, as we’ve got to make it into the Fast Six and then battle for the front row. “I was surprised. “I was pretty impressed with the 234.7mph,” VeeKay said. Rinus VeeKay went out second and set the fastest four-lap qualifying average on Saturday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. With a staggering opening lap of 234.702mph, the Dutchman’s No. 21 Ed Carpenter Racing Chevy continued rocketing around the 2.5-mile oval at 233.655mph to lead the day and earn his place in Sunday’s Fast 12 qualifying session where he and the next 11 drivers on the speed chart vie for pole position.

The fastest 12 drivers from Indianapolis 500 qualifying return to the track on Sunday to fight for the pole position...

The difference in speed was even closer, as second through 10th place were apart by less than one mile per hour. The 12 fastest drivers advanced to Sunday's hunt for the pole. Felix Rosenqvist's third-place speed was 232.775 miles per hour. The former NASCAR Cup Series champion sits sixth after Saturday's results. Jimmie Johnson drove to sixth place during his first qualifying session for the Indy 500. The Dutchman produced a lap time that was two-hundredths of a second faster than O'Ward and his speed was 0.6 miles per hour faster than the second-place driver.

8 8 The 2022 Indianapolis 500 is set to run on Sunday, May 29, but a week before qualifying will settle the starting grid for the Memorial Day weekend race.

The pole position for the 106th Indianapolis 500 will be determined among 12 drivers. The pole winner has also won the race 21 times.

The fastest in the group of 6 earns the pole position. Other teams in the top 12 include Andretti Autosport (Grosjean), Team Penske (Power) and Dale Coyne Racing with RWR (Sato). Dixon also won the pole in 2008, '15, '17 and '21. Dixon's lone Indy 500 win in 2008 came from the No. 1 starting spot. ► All five Chip Ganassi Racing drivers — Palou, Kanaan, Johnson, Ericsson and Dixon — will compete for the pole. Scott Dixon's 223.774 mph effort is the best 4-lap simulated qualifying run. Scott Dixon won the pole position in 2021, and he finished 17th. It was out of the south on Saturday, so drivers will take a different approach heading into each turn. Dixon's run is the second-fastest overall qualifying effort, behind Arie Luyendyk's 236.986 effort, also in '96. The top 12 drivers from Saturday's session will compete for the pole position. This is Dixon's fifth Indy 500 pole position, leaving him alone in second place to Rick Mears' six poles. The wind is out of the north. The most recent pole winner to also win the race was Simon Pagenaud in 2019.

We go over how you can watch the second day of Indy 500 qualifying as drivers look to secure the pole position.

6 The pole position through P6 will be determined from those times. Memorial Day is just around the corner and that means it’s time for the Indianapolis 500.

Second place is the third-best starting position in history, with 11 drivers using the middle of the front row to catapult into the racing history books. The last to do so was Simon Pagenaud in 2019. Here’s an eye-opening statistic for you: 75 percent of Indianapolis 500-Mile Races have been won by a driver starting in the top 12, including the past six races. In a new and unique format, it will take two daunting rounds of Indianapolis 500 qualifying to set the prestigious front row for the race. Two drivers have risen from that far in the field – Ray Harroun in 1911 and Louis Meyer in 1936. During his second qualifying attempt of the day, he wasn’t perfect. This came after treacherous wind conditions during Fast Friday Indy 500 practice May 20, when drivers were struggling even to put together two consistent laps. Four-time Indianapolis 500 winner Rick Mears will drive the Pace Car during the fan salute laps. He turned a four-lap average speed of 233.655 mph in the No. 21 Bitcoin Racing Team with BitNile Chevrolet for Ed Carpenter Racing. Due to inclement weather, the team never got an opportunity to make a four-lap run, and Wilson will start 33rd with no time recorded. Sato, who won the Indy 500 in 2017 and 2020, was a prime example of that. These drivers must be perfect.

Scott Dixon saved his best for last and put the youth movement on pause Sunday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, running a four-lap average of 234.046 mph ...

- Jimmie Johnson, Chip Ganassi Racing, Honda, 231.264 - Tony Kanaan, Chip Ganassi Racing, Honda, 232.372 - Ed Carpenter, Ed Carpenter Racing, Chevrolet, 233.08 - Marcus Ericsson, Chip Ganassi Racing, Honda, 232.764 "I wish they were just there to back me up," Dixon cracked when asked if he felt more comfortable with so many teammates around him. Winning the pole does give you confidence, but it's no guarantee of anything. - Alex Palou, Chip Ganassi Racing, Honda, 233.499 - Rinus VeeKay, Ed Carpenter Racing, Chevrolet, 233.385 "It's all about winning the 500, man. "From the first run to the second, I knew it was going to get easier because of the weather conditions," Dixon said, "and the weather held up. It is the fifth Indy 500 pole for Dixon, 41, who also started from the top spot on the grid in 2021, 2017, 2015 and 2008 -- when he won the race. It's a privilege to be on the pole, but it don't feel as good as I felt when I won in 2008.

The lineup for the 106th Indianapolis 500 is set with Scott Dixon setting the second fastest four-lap average in race history during qualifying.

"I knew he was gonna get it," said Alex Palou in the news conference. Carpenter's teammate, Rinus VeeKay, was poised to be the first Dutch polesitter since Arie Luyendyk in 1999, but came up just short of besting Palou's speed. Chip Ganassi Racing took a stranglehold of the top-6, sending four of its cars on to the final round of qualifying. His Chip Ganassi Racing teammates, Marcus Ericsson, Tony Kanaan, and Alex Palou followed, but were unable to qualify faster than Dixon. The fifth Ganassi racer Jimmie Johnson, qualifying for his first Indianapolis 500, had a major moment in Turn 1 on his first lap and was unable to match the pace of his Ganassi teammates. No one was able to best Dixon's speed from the Fast 12 session. Dixon will lead the field to the green Sunday with Alex Palou and Rinus VeeKay lining up beside him to start the 2022 edition of the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. Ericsson did, however, achieve his best career Indy 500 starting spot of fifth. Johnson was bumped from the Fast 6 and will start 12th Sunday. "I knew we had a high (233-mph qualifying run) in the car. "It doesn't guarantee anything but it's a huge privilege to sit on the pole. Hometown driver Ed Carpenter, looking for his fourth Indy 500 pole, then went out and beat Kanaan's speed with a 4-lap average of 233.080. 2013 winner Tony Kanaan went out first and posted an 232.372 mph average speed.

For the second year in a row and the fifth time in his career, Scott Dixon will be on the pole for the Indianapolis 500.

27 27 For Dixon, the task at hand is now to keep his pole position throughout the race. The top three of Dixon, Palou, and Rinus VeeKay comprise the fastest front row ever at the Indy 500. He dominated his competition with an average lap time of 234.046 mph, marking his fifth pole win, second all-time behind Rick Mears (six). I knew we had a high (qualifying run) in the car.
