Sebastian Saavedra is in the Indianapolis 500, and Jay Howard and Paul Tracy are not. Jay Howard withdrew his time in an attempt to solidify his spot in the field, but was unable to bump off the 19-year-old Colombian in the final moments of qualifying. Saavedra, who crashed his only car with just a little […]

A major save in Turn 3 forced Jaques Lazier to head back to the pits before he took the green for his final qualifying attempt. He still has one ‘bullet’ left.

After laps of 223.7 and 223.0 m.p.h. in his second attempt of qualifying, Paul Tracy has waved it off and will try to get back in line for another run before the 6 p.m. ET gun. It looks like the decision to withdraw his previous time may cost him a spot in the ‘500.’

Jay Howard’s four-lap average of 223.610 was unable to bump Paul Tracy, but he’s currently back in the field because Paul Tracy has withdrawn his average and will look to better his previous speed.

After Milka Duno waved off her attempt after two laps, Takuma Sato was able to bump off Jay Howard and put Paul Tracy on the bubble. Sato put up a four-lap average of 224.178 m.p.h. Tracy’s current average is at 223.892 m.p.h.

Mario Romancini has withdrawn his former four-lap average in an attempt to better his speed and solidify his spot in the Indy 500 field. He withstood a failed bump attempt from Jaques Lazier before he went back out on the track. Romancini has knocked Sebastian Saavedra back out of the field with a four-lap average of […]

Tony Kanaan has qualified 30th after posting a four-lap average of 224.072 with thirty minutes remaining in Bump Day. Sebastian Saavedra has been bumped from the field.

Sebastian Saavedra is now a sitting duck to be bumped off after a practice crash just minutes ago. The 19-year-old Colombian lost control of the No. 29 Bryan Herta Autosport entry in Turn 1 and backed into the SAFER Barrier, causing major rear-end damage. The machine is the only car that Saavedra has, which means […]

With ninety minutes remaining in Bump Day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, former IZOD IndyCar Series champion Tony Kanaan is still not yet in the field for next Sunday’s Indianapolis 500.

There are some big names on the list of […]

Designed to create late-afternoon drama, the new “Fast Nine” shootout for the Indianapolis 500 pole was instead rendered almost pointless in just minutes. Three-time ‘500’ winner Helio Castroneves, the first qualifier of the segment, opened his four-lap qualifying run with a lap at […]
