Sorry for the confusion, but sometimes the communications break down and not everybody gets the word. We went and asked, and were told what I typed above.

I can see the confusion for sure.Easy mistake to make.

Now making sure that I understand this correctly.....

You used to have to run at least .50 under on a single to get a class win.
Now,you get a class win if you run the index.(which is 3 tenths FASTER)
So now,you can qualify at Indy on a class single by running 2 tenths SLOWER than last year?

The field is made up of the 128 highest qualified cars now. Class winners are not automatically put in the field anymore.

Since class winners are not automatically put in the field anymore,(as I was aware),I never understood how a single in a particular class could be disqualified for going to slow,whether it be .50 under or even the current index.
