I missed all the Qualifying fun. Veekay from crashing at IMS a month ago to front row... in a Chevy. Is that performance of the day?
Also, speaking of Chevy and something I dont see on main news outlets. Chevy had another engine fire/failure in Practice after qualifying (Pagenaud). Signs of things to come in 500 mile race?![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/icons/shock.gif)

It's Carb Day! That's when the drivers all go to an Italian restaurant after the final practice and carbo load on pasta to fuel up for the race. It can't have anything to do with tuning up carburetors since IndyCar hasn't used carburetors since 1963 (meanwhile, NASCAR used carburetors through the 2011 seaon
).
Dixon (Ganassi) is dominating the final practice at 228 mph. Very interestingly, for a while the next four cars were the four Penske cars, which all qualified pretty poorly relative to expectations. Conor Daly (Carpenter) is up to P3. Kanaan (Ganassi) and Sato (RLL) are up there too.
Final practice is about driving in traffic and fine-tuning your race setup, so this can indicate which cars are most comfortable and fast in heavy traffic conditions.
For the race, 40% capacity is allowed, so there will be 135,000 fans at the track, easily the largest event held since the lockdowns began last year. It's considered a sell-out, so the race will be shown live locally.
