INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Scott Dixon and Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Alex Palou made late engine swaps before the start of qualifying for the Indianapolis 500. It paid off with both joining teammates Marcus Ericsson and Takuma Sato in the fast 12 that will go for the pole on Sunday. Jack Harvey also got a new Honda engine, but that was expected after his Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing ride showed smoke out the rear in the closing minutes of Friday’s practice session. Callum Ilott also made it onto the track and into the field after his Juncos Hollinger Racing team was forced to put together a backup car in just over 12 hours.
