Felix Rosenqvist leads an ArrowMcLaren 1-2 in Indy500 qualifying, on a dramatic opening day FULL REPORT 👇
The battle for the last spot in the Fast 12
The primary target of the six hours of qualifying was to get inside the top 12 positions, allowing drivers to transfer into Sunday’s Fast 12 session to decide the first four rows of the starting grid. Just after the halfway point of the session, Kanaan’s four-lap average tied to the 10 thousandth of a second at 2m34.7591s with Ed Carpenter for P12. But squeezed ahead of them both with 232.662mph for the vital transfer spot with 90 minutes remaining.
Kanaan’s late flyer of 233.347mph jumped him up to fifth, pushing Kirkwood out and putting Power on the bubble. “I’m too old for this man,” Kanaan quipped. Carpenter ran again, almost brushing the Turn 4 wall on his way to 232.689mph, but just missed bumping Power. “I had one awkward downshift, but that’s how tight it is,” he rued.
