Gotta wonder what Scott & Dario could have achieved if they had the right fuel

Bob Jenkins just said only the top 9 can not be bumped, as I feared. I think Simona is in trouble tomorrow. You have to figure that at the very least, Briscoe, and the four Andretti cars beat her...

There are not much other cars that can bump her out of the field.

Tung is DNQ, Saavedra and Jakes won't make it. I don't think Lloyd, Matos, Mann and Beatriz can go faster than her. So even if Briscoe, the 4 Andretti, the 2 Ganassi and Tracy go faster than her, she would start 32nd!

My guess would have been Dixon comfortably on pole and Dario 3rd or 4th.

"My body's shaking. I was pretty nervous out there," she said. "A day ago, I wasn't sure if I wanted to get back in the car. I was really freaked out about it. But I think I made the right decision to get back in, and the doctors have taken really good car of me.

"After the crash, I was like, 'I don't need this. This is too crazy. It's way too dangerous.' After a while you're back to being a racecar driver and thinking, 'Nah, I can do this.' And you suck it up.

"This morning, I felt pretty good. Then I went to qualify and thought, 'Ah, I'm not too sure about that.' And especially when you're sitting [waiting to go out] and they're showing your crash on the screen. It's like, 'really? Thanks...'

THAT is why Indycar is my favourite series in the world. Despite my love for Gannasi, Seeing a small team like that of Tag's whoop the big gun's arses makes me smile. Those 4 laps, WOW!

Apparently Andretti AutoSport added a special bit to the cars today & it moved the cars Center of Pressure. John Andretti's crew figured it out & took the bit off the car for John's last run, Danica & Conway were in line for a final run with this bit removed but the rain prevented them going out.

That's an awesome grid. I couldn't give the tiniest of shits about the Ganassi cars running out of fuel, because it's so nice to see the top few places not being a Ganassi-Penske-Andretti lock-out. Hopefully it'll be something like that on race day

Remember as well, they might be able to get a little more out of the car if they need to. They only just got that chassis on the track this morning.

Yea, looking at the speeds, the amount of time Scott lost verses how much behind Tags he was shows that he would have been on pole.... guess Scott has bad luck with running out of fuel on the final corner 1. Alex Tagliani Sam Schmidt 227.472mph 2. Scott Dixon Ganassi 227.340mph

According to the woman from ESPN, I'm going to be on the Indy 500 broadcast. I couldn't give TBK a shoutout because the questions asked couldn't give me a chance to do so. Joey will be in some b-roll footage taken of my family during qualifying.

Can't believe the shitty performance of Andretti Autosport. But looks like they've figured it out so hopefully they make it.
