According to that dudes pictures, they've already got the new engine in and the starter plugged. Pretty impressive.

Servia 230.9.

Pole's got to be over 232, you think?

RHR is flying.

231.4 probably ends up faster than 9th at least.

Wonder if we will get another 'fastest qualifier isnt on pole' situation like we used to have in the past a lot.

Conditions should be better later, so I bet pole is closer to 232 now.

If someone in the Fast 9 bins it during qualifying do they start 9th or last?

No poo poo. 8 Hondas outqualified every 10-33 Chevy.

I mean, it's gonna feel even worse when notable Chevy driver Ed Carpenter gets pole. I feel like Penske is really underperforming.

Marco ran slower than both RHR and Jones, so that's at least two cars that got stuck back thanks to the fast 9.

INDIANAPOLIS (Sunday, May 21, 2017) - The following is a statement from Dale Coyne Racing driver Sebastien Bourdais, who sustained multiple pelvic fractures and a fractured right hip in an incident during qualifying Saturday for the 101st Running of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race. Bourdais underwent surgery Saturday night and is recovering at IU Health Methodist Hospital.

"I want to thank everybody for the support and the messages, quite a few drivers have already dropped by. It's going to take time, but I'm feeling pretty good since the surgery. I'll be back at some point. Just don't know when yet!"

When was the last time a rookie got pole?
Asking for a friend

e: Tony Stewart in 96 (technically?), Fabi in 83. I think you have to go back before WW2 for another rookie pole sitter?
