For everyone but OpenWheel:
Unless Penske can pull off a miracle, Helio probably won't be qualifying this afternoon...He had a suspension failure in the final minutes of the last practice session and mangled the left side of his car against the wall... With only two hours before quals begin, I highly doubt that they can get an engine into his backup, let alone put a setup on it to make a run, thus he'll be starting at the back of the pack tomorrow evening. OpenWheel was the only one who didn't have Helio in her "Top Three Rows" picks.... |

Here are your quals results:
No one had dario on the Pole Peno was closest to the 4-lap speed: Actual-212.696 Peno-212.150 No one had dario for the Fast lap Peno was closest to that speed: Actual-212.885 Peno-212.850 In the Top 6, OpenWheel and Peno had 6 pts. each, drewdawg and NAC had 5 pts each and Tim had 5 pts. All picked Lazier as the slow qualifier for 2 pts. Peno was closest the the slow avg. speed: Actual-205.606 Peno-205.800, thus earning 2 pts. plus a 2 pt. bonus for having both. NAC picked Danica for the "Just Miss' for 2 pts. Totals after Qualifying: 1. Peno - 16 pts. 2. NAC - 9 pts. 3. OpenWheel - 8 pts. 4. drewdawg - 7 pts. 5. Tim - 6 pts. Good Luck in the race! |
