Simon Pagenaud will start from the pole position. He was one of nine drivers that locked himself into pole day of qualifying. Pagenaud turned laps at an average speed of 229.992 mph.

“Team Menards and Team Penske have been phenomenal about giving me the best equipment,” said Pagenaud, who turned 35 on Saturday. “I can’t thank them enough and my teammates for always pushing me to the limit. This is incredible. This is the biggest race in the world, so obviously I’m on Cloud Nine.”

Toward the bottom of the time sheets sits former F1 champion Fernando Alonso. He will not start the race at Indianapolis, missing the grid by one spot.

“A difficult week, no doubts. We tried our best, even today with a completely different set up and approach, 4 laps flat on the throttle but we were not fast enough. It’s never easy to drive around here at 227mph+,” Fernando Alonso stated via twitter after qualifying.
