656: The Story So Far: The 110th Indy 500 Preview

from Motorsport101 · host Dre Harrison

And back-to-back days with a Podcast, huzzah! Dre, Cam and RJ are joined by Frontstretch.com's Christopher DeHarde to talk about the 110th Running of the Indy 500 tomorrow, the story so far, and preview the grid before the world's biggest race.It was a dramatic week of prep for quali in a different way - With Bump Day not on the table due to exactly 33 entrants, we had a change of format, with an extra elimination round for Sunday as only Positions 1-9 being locked into the Fast 12, and an extra elimination round for positons 10-15. But with rain destroying Saturday's running, we went to single-run eliminations and a standard Fast 12 and 6 round.It looked like Felixz Rosenqvist had Qualifying in the bag, but a poor final run opened the door for a trimmed-out Alex Palou to take his second Indy 500 pole position and a $100,000 bonus. And on top of that - Alex Rossi, Pato O'Ward and Romain Grosjean had a huge crash on Monday practice, with Rossi breaking his ankle, but still racing on Sunday. The gang break it all down here!
