Day 1 is on NBC today 2-4 central. The fast nine will be determined today. Starting positions 10-33 will be determined as well.

Honda has been fast all week, Chevy (including team Penske) still searching for speed. Passing will be challenging in race trim placing a premium on qualifying. I like Dixon or Rossi to take the pole. ECR shows we’ll in qualifying typically and Daly has had the fastest Chevy all week.

Honda is bitch slapping Chevy in practice sessions. Alonso is so stubborn with Honda, that he may miss out qualifying for the Indy 500 again.

Only 1 Chevy will be in the first 3 rows as of now.

Penske looking rough today, Andretti having a really good day.

Looks like it’s going to be another disappointing 500 showing for Alonso.

Impressed with VeeKay and Palou

Little Marco fastest today. Dixon had a potentially faster run going but shut it down to save it for tomorrow.

Marco always shows potential and then shits the bed, so I’ll be surprised if he takes the pole. That said, I’d love to see him win the pole, race, or anything. It would make grandpa happy and be good publicity for the series.

Rookie Alex Palou just hit 240mph on the front straightaway.

I’m such a Penske fan it irks me Dixon is being this good. But you have to give it to him and Ganassi. As long as it’s anyone but an Andretti driver.

Going to be tough to beat Dixon. Marco or Rossi could possibly top it.

He didnt have that top end speed going into turn 1, but his times didnt drop that much

Low 230s to Mid 229s... hardly any drop off compared to the others

Rossi just must have lifted or they missed the setup everywhere Couldn’t happen to a more deserving team

Andretti not quite where the were yesterday it looks like. We'll see what RHR and Marco have. I suspect we will see a little more from them.

RHR won’t be front row. The short chutes are killing him it seems

Hopefully Marco just blows an engine
