2011 Indy 500 Qualifying Thread
Time to fire this one up.
Who will be on the Pole? The Fast Nine in the shootout? Who will suffer Sunday waiting out their seat on "The Bubble?" Will it burst? Who goes home? Lots to talk about this weekend. Enjoy!!!! |

Briscoe will be running in the T car today - given the team, I doubt that will have any impact on his pace

Just tuned in!
Good stuff from Tags! Looks to be touch and go with rain; standards for May in Indy. Maybe six more cars left to go according the IndyCar stream. |

RAIN! Kemball stops his q'ing run and Helio is left on deck.
Could be done for Pole Day. |

given that TK is one of the worst drivers at qualifying compared to his race performance, that says a hell of a lot about Andretti team
Damn this is looking like one hell of a mixed up grid |

I am really shocked that Danica did not make the top 24 today. She had speed all week. Im also shocked how bad the Andretti team did today. Not a good day

Nice work by Tags & Oriol today, Far higher than where I would have guessed they would be before the start of the week. It's going to be a damn interesting race.

Both Ganassi cars ran out of fuel during their runs.
Seriously? I would be really surprised if there wasn't handing in their Target uniform and team Credentials 2nite! |

They all should have learnt from Danica's setup, but maybe the rain came at the wrong time? Yet, it was a good day nonetheless. Sam Schmidt Motorsports was FAZZT, erm, I mean, really fast. Kudos to Tagliani, Bell and Wheldon. Well done. Panther must be really happy with their performance as well, having gotten P7 with Rice and P11 with Hildebrand. And I definitely had not expected Sarah Fisher Racing in the Top 9 Qualifying session. Kudos to SurprisEd for surprising once again. |

I wouldn't call Ryan a road course specialist - kind of an unfair label. He is the model of a modern IndyCar driver. Sebastian Bourdais would be more of the road course specialist, he doesn't have much interest in running ovals! But seriously, that's what makes him a road course specialist. Guys like RHR and Power for that matter are quick everywhere because they want to be IndyCar champion and 500 winner.

How do they set the grid 10th-24th if the whole of Bump Day is rained off? Those clouds look rather set in and there's a huge amount of water on track.

Setting a terrible precedent
Asking if qualifying can be extended beyond the 6pm deadline just to allow Danica Patrick to get a second chance at qualification? Talk about setting a terrible precedent.
She tried to qualify yesterday and failed, she was in line earlier and failed inspection and had to get out of line and get back in line at a later position. And now the media is asking Indy Racing officials if they will extend the end of qualifying long enough to allow her to make another run today. Why don't they just keep qualifying going until she's in the field? At this point it's essentially the same thing. |
