Back to his championship form, the Andretti driver captures the pole.....
Noteable Observations:
- Tristian Vautier qualifies 3rd in the fastest Honda placing above the Ganassi drivers
- A.J. Allmendinger qualifies 10th, slowest of the 3 Penske Chevrolets
- Marco Andretti appears to be consistent with his off-season tutoring from an F1 driver coach
- Simona De Silvestro qualified 14th - however, she qualified higher than her vaunted teammate, Tony Kanan who qualified 19th.
