Qualifying:
Ed Carpenter denied Penske, what might have been their first front row shut out since 1988 when Rick Mears, Danny Sullivan and Al Unser took the first three places on the grid, by claiming Pole for the third time.
The Fast 9 was dominated by Chevrolet; good to see Danica in 7th. Top Honda was Bourdais with a creditable 5th place, considering his devastating accident at Indy last year, with Dixon 9th. Unusually, leading Honda team Andretti Autosport appear to have had trouble finding form, with Marco Andretti 12th and 100th 500 winner Alexander Rossi last but one.
