Runs have ended in last row qualifying for the Indianapolis 500. The Field of 33 is set.
Five drivers were at risk of missing the race before today s session: Sage Karam (Dreyer & Reinbold Racing), Will Power (Penske Racing), Simona de Silvestro (Paretta Autosport), Charlie Kimball (AJ Foyt Racing), and RC Enerson (Top Gun Racing). Karam, Power, and de Silvestro showed competitive speed yesterday and were heavy favorites to advance. Even after some on-track misfortune, they will do so.
Power s team, in particular, had a stressful last row shootout. Power hit the wall on one of his laps hard enough to leave a mark. But he never lifted, knowing that a lift would lead to the same result as a crash anyway. Power finished the run, setting an average time of 228.876 MPH, and qualified 32nd of 33 who will race next Sunday. Karam had a cleaner and easier run, qualifying at 229.156. S
