    Absolutely delighted for Tags. I was really hoping the rain would hold and he wouldn't have had to go through another run, but he excelled and took a well-deserved pole :)

    Tags for 500 spoiler maybe? :D

    1 77 Alex Tagliani Sam Schmidt Motorsports 227.472 mph (366 km/h) 15
    2 9 Scott Dixon Chip Ganassi Racing 227.340 mph (366 km/h) 13
    3 2 Oriol Servià Newman/Haas Racing 227.168 mph (366 km/h) 12
    4 99 Townsend Bell Sam Schmidt Motorsports 226.887 mph (365 km/h) 11
    5 12 Will Power Team Penske 226.773 mph (365 km/h) 10
    6 98 Dan Wheldon Bryan Herta Autosport 226.490 mph (365 km/h) 9
    7 44 Buddy Rice Panther Racing 225.786 mph (363 km/h) 8
    8 67 Ed Carpenter Sarah Fisher Racing 225.121 mph (362 km/h) 7
    9 10 Dario Franchitti Chip Ganassi Racing No time 6


    Actually Tags' #77 is a full-time car this year. Although Schmidt did mention on the coverage that they are still looking for a sponsor to run 2012...
    Ah really? I haven't been keeping up with IndyCar's at all this season. Thought I heard someone mention it on the stream I was using.

    Please tell me somebody else watched that Bump Day?

    Incredible! Marco was on the bubble for aaaages and was eventually bumped by Alex Lloyd with only 3 minutes left and this put Marco's team-mate Ryan Hunter-Raey on the bubble. THEN Lloyd's team-mate managed to get in front of Marco in the line of cars but his run was ended because he was too slow. Marco had just enough time (about 3 seconds) to start his run and set an excellent lap. It really showed excellent bottle from him.

    Shame for RHR, though. The stream I was watching had people that were FUMING that Marco didn't go out earlier, even though when he was on the bubble he was still qualified, and by going out he would have lost his time! Some people really fail to see sense...

    Drama with a capital A for Andretti... (or even two capital A's for Andretti Autosport)

    Those that DNQ'd:
    8 Ho-Pin Tung Dragon Racing Crashed during qualifying attempt on Pole Day, not medically cleared to continue taking part in qualifying.
    20 Scott Speed/Patrick Carpentier Dragon Racing Speed did not attempt to qualify on Pole Day. Team withdrew on Bump Day after Carpentier crashed and the team could not secure a back-up car.
    27 Mike Conway Andretti Autosport Bumped from the field, too slow to re-qualify.
    34 Sebastián Saavedra Conquest Racing Bumped from the field, too slow to re-qualify.
    17 Raphael Matos AFS Racing Bumped from the field, too slow to re-qualify.
    18 James Jakes Dale Coyne Racing Bumped from the field, too slow to re-qualify.
    28 Ryan Hunter-Reay Andretti Autosport Bumped from the field.

    Starting grid (subject to change based on driver or car changes):
    77 Alex Tagliani 9 Scott Dixon (W) 2 Oriol Servià
    99 Townsend Bell 12 Will Power 98 Dan Wheldon (W)
    44 Buddy Rice (W) 67 Ed Carpenter 10 Dario Franchitti (W)
    5 Takuma Sato 14 Vitor Meira 4 J. R. Hildebrand (R)
    06 James Hinchcliffe (R) 30 Bertrand Baguette 11 Davey Hamilton
    3 Hélio Castroneves (W) 43 John Andretti 59 E. J. Viso

    Fair play to Pippa Mann for getting in on (I think?) her first attempt. Pity for RHR and Conway though.

    Didnt miss a minute :D I did say it would be awesome! So much drama i wonder if the 500 will be an anti climax. Really bad for Conway, Lloyd drove the wheels off that thing, and Marco just making it - even looked like Danica was out at one point.

    Ryan Hunter-Reay could be driving the 500 afterall. Apparently he's gotten AJ Foyts 41 car instead of Bruno Junquiera. If I was Junquiera I would be really pissed off now. 2nd time in 3 years this has happened to him I believe.

    I'd be liable to headbutt someone TBH.

    So, Indy coverage on ABC starts in a little under 10 minutes. Time to sit down and find a reliable stream :D

    That's what I call a cheer! Has to get there some day.

    Some start to the race, Tags, Wheldon and Franchitti look to have great early pace.

    What is up with Tags? He can follow so obviously has some downforce but he seems excellent out front too.

    Threw a couple of quid on Wheldon there, he's the first driver of the ones I think have a chance who's at odds worth betting.

    And there goes the last of the Sam Schmidt cars. WTF did Penkse do to Bell?

    Looking at this replay, they could have both got out of it if Briscoe had have yanked the wheel left!!!

    She went down very, very low forcing whoever that was to go to the put road. I'm open to correction with a replay.


    I'd be surprised if a few more don't dive to the pits before the green.
