This is what I love about the Indy500. You’ve gotta work hard to qualify

Alonso bumped from top 30

God, I hope he qualifies. I remember Hinchcliffe getting bumped out.

Alonso is out. It’ll still be a great spectacle. If Alonso wants this badly enough, then McLaren better put their money and do the whole series. I’m glad the qualifying showed that just because one is a top notch driver they’re not a sure start for the race.

Did anyone catch the Yellow S2k at the end of the ad for the mechanic school during today’s qualifying coverage?

I think we need a Memorial Day prediction contest. Top 5 picks for Monaco, Indy and Charlotte. Points awarded for accuracy. yes? no?

I'm glad he got punted, McLaren is trying to buy Alonso his triple crown and I'm pleased it isn't working.

I'm not hating on Alonso, but his Lemans "win" bugs me. If he wants to win at Indy complete a full season in IndyCar, don't half ass it.
