Carpenter Puts 'Little Guy' In Spotlight With Stunning Indy 500 Pole Run
To call Pole Day for the 97th Indianapolis 500 improbable would have been a complete understatement. Consider that the nine drivers who made the Fast Nine Shootout to determine the pole position included all five drivers from Andretti Autosport and all three drivers from Team Penske.

97th Indianapolis 500 Press Conference - Katherine Legge
MODERATOR: Do you have more time this time? You're ready to go back there and work on the race car, and does that say it was a long day?
KATHERINE LEGGE: Oh, yeah. I haven't slept in like three days, so I'm going sleep tonight, which is good. It's been a long day, but it's been a great day and a great opportunity. So just happy now, relieved to be in the field.

Old National Armed Forces Bump Day Quotes
CONOR DALY (No. 41 ABC Supply Co./A.J. Foyt Racing Honda): βIt's nice to get it all done for once, and it's exciting to get it done early. It will be nerve-wracking the rest of the day, I'm sure. But if we have to go out again, that's fine. I know exactly where we can find some more speed. We'll just see what happens. If we're solidly in, I don't think there is any point in going again. But I think there is a little bit if we have to. We'll just have to see how it all plays out. I have to thank the crew for all they've done. I think they had the car apart at least 15 times after the crash and the problems we had (Saturday). We got the engine back about 8:30 last night, and they worked late getting it back in.β

Jourdain, Legge Experience Unique Agony, Ecstasy Of Indy Bump Day
By the numbers, when the weekend began, it appeared Michel Jourdain Jr. would be in the 33-car starting lineup for the 97th Indianapolis 500. After all, with 33 driver-and-car combination entered in the race, all he had to do was make a qualification attempt, and he would be starting in the Indy 500 on Sunday, May 26.

Allmendinger Enjoys Ride After Taking Long, Winding Road To Indy 500
When AJ Allmendinger was lighting it up in the Champ Car World Series from 2004-2006, he looked like the next great American open-wheel racing star. He was young, talented and a winner with five wins in 13 races in 2006. But he never got a chance to compete in the Indianapolis 500 because those were the years before Champ Car teams joined the IZOD IndyCar Series in 2008 to give the United States a unified open-wheel series.

97th Indianapolis 500 Press Conference - Fast Nine
THE MODERATOR: I think this is a pretty good indication that there's a lot of pressure that goes with this shootout, and I would imagine it's pretty darned difficult to hang it out for a second time, but what these gentlemen do know is that they are in prime position, they're the top three rows for the 97th running of the β500β so they're in good position. They might not be as happy as they might be, but it's still a good run. Let's open it right up to any questions that you might have for any of them. We bring second and third in next and then we'll bring the polesitter in next.

97th Indianapolis 500 Press Conference - Chip Ganassi Racing
MODERATOR: Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, for a traditional stop by for Target Chip Ganassi Racing and Chip Ganassi and Mike Hull and a talented group of drivers who not only know how to win here; they know how to win championships. And as I've take a look at things over the years, Chip, I think one of the things that makes an organization strong is consistency. I thought to myself how long some of the key players have been with you, and all of them know a little bit about winning. You have to feel good about your chances again.

One Good Turn: Arie Luyendyk
ARIE ON WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO SET THE FASTEST-EVER LAPS AT INDY:
Not difficult, not stressful, not frightening at all. The car was really good. It went through Turn 1 absolutely fantastic, no worries at all. With that particular car, the car was well set up and so well balanced. We ran it trimmed out as much as we could. It was crazy trimmed out, but still the car was still planted. I never had a moment with that car. If you look at other qualifying runs, when I ran the following year with the new IRL cars and I qualified on the pole at 218.263, that's when I was really always nervous going into 1.
