Your spot on the sheet do not matter.

True but the fast cars have a distinct advantage in a heads up situation that the lower qualified "Slow " car does not have.

Over the past few years there have been no cars found to be illegal or bending the rules at Indy. Even the really fast cars. I doubt they will find much this year either. They are tearing down less than 10% of the qualifiers And I don't believe there is many that are flagrantly bending the rules at least not at Indy where they do actually tear some of the cars down. We will see this year with Wesley there checking things.

Yep. It's Indy. Somebody could slip a hot cam into a stocker and hold back on the pedal to qualify low. Then under dial and work the stripe during eliminations. Bracket racers hold back all the time. You'd have to dump the final, though.


BTW There seems to be no order to the first batch in the barn. Three are from the top 10, two from the middle and one from the bottom. There are 95 cars running a full second under. Check them all.



Seaburg is running far better than his last two National/Lucas Oil races. That could red flag him.

Yes, it's Indy - Run what you brung and hope you brung enough.

Brian has been to the barn before and passed. I see no reason that he won't pass this time.

Scanning will only be used to check the Factory Shootout cars.
