INDIANAPOLIS – Fan favorite
Tony Kanaan is back in the field in a big way.
Kanaan, who had a run
that would’ve put him comfortably in the fast nine before being disqualified
after technical inspection, requalified at 224.751 mph to put him sixth on the
provisional grid.
That effort knocked
Rubens Barrichello out of the fast nine and Ed Carpenter out of the field.
Eight of the top nine cars are Chevrolets. Rookie Josef Newgarden has the lone Honda in the fast nine.
The target speed for the
fast nine is E.J. Viso’s 224.422 mph. The bump speed at No. 24 is Townsend Bell’s
221.514 mph.
A practice session is
under way. Drivers have until 4 p.m. to make it into the fast nine or top 24.
The fast nine shootout is slated to begin at 4:30 p.m.
