The last time we ran with the full boost in qual runs, pole was a 231.067 average from Ed. That was pre-aerokit.. but also pre-hole in the floor, dome skid, and no strakes in the undertray, too.

e: qual sim from Bell: 229.8, 231.0, 231.0, 230.2

Power just had the first no-tow 230 for a Chevy at 230.3.

What's the coverage like for qualifying tomorrow - mix of streaming and ABC?

edit: 231.339 no-tow for Power.

228.9's from Ed on his qual sim. They've put the rear fins back on for all 3 of the ECR cars, they don't seem to have that extra leap of speed that Penske and Andretti have shown.

Aleshin running the Honda rearwing option with big negative angle on it to get in to the high 230 bracket

e: all three of the SSM cars are showing some speed here at the end of the day. 230.757 no-tow from Oriol.

That 231 zone is still only Andretti's, Power, and... Gabby??

Dixon qual sim 230.416, 230.088, 229.812 and then cut it off. Don't want to write Ganassi off obviously, but they haven't shown a whole lot today.

e: carpenter 229.844, 229.759, 229.808, 229.485

now RHR joins the andretti party at the top of the no-tow with a 231.284

Wonder what they finally found with RHR's car, he had nowhere near the speed of the rest of AA for most of the day.

I do not know if Andretti is competitive or ECR, Penske, and Ganassi are holding back.

I find it hard to believe that all three of them would be sandbagging that hard at this point. Seems like you'd stand to lose more by not learning all you should about the car in qualifying trim.

So qualifying today only matters if you're certain you'll make the top 9 right?

Also sounds like practice won't start for another 2 hours or so, based on the track drying in time.

Correct. Since there's only 33 entries, all you gain today is entry into the shootout for the top nine spots.



I found an Andretti car but I don't think it'll do 230.

Well we'll see tomorrow. Gotta requalify the top 9. I liked the faux bumping we had to get into the top 9. Laughed that the ESPN timer was at 00 and Aleshin still got a run because the gun didn't go off at ESPN's timer.

If RHR hadn't launched onto the track as soon as possible, Aleshin wouldn't have bumped Rossi.

You have one for Rahal whining on the radio but not Marco? I usually switch between the two of them on my scanner depending on who's in traffic at the time.
