Default Chevrolet-powered cars claimed seven of the Fast 9 with Team Penske getting all four

Chevrolet-powered cars claimed seven of the Fast 9 with Team Penske getting all four cars in (Newgarden was fourth and three-time Indy winner Helio Castroneves was eighth in the Pennzoil Special.It was a command performance by Ed Carpenter Racing as Spencer Pigot snared the sixth starting spot and Danica Patrick was seventh in her return to Indy after a seven-year absence.“Honestly, I said before I went out I hope it’s boring and it was pretty boring; as bored as you can be doing 230-plus,” said the only woman to ever lead the Indianapolis 500 after averaging 228.090mph in her Go Daddy Chevy. “Don (Halliday, engineer) did a good job on the call with the right balance. It was fairly consistent. All in all, a good feeling. It’s good to have that part done. I was pretty nervous.”The biggest shocker of Sunday was Alexander Rossi. The 2016 Indy winner has been one of the quickest drivers all season and appeared to be heading for Row 4 before losing six mph from his first to his fourth lap in the NAPA Honda.“Very frustrating, for sure – we were fighting for the fourth row and we end up in the last row,” said Rossi, who starts 32nd. “It was something pretty major and I knew on the warm-up last something was wrong.”And the surprise story of Sunday was James Davison, who crashed Friday and came back to post the 19th-fastest average on Sunday in the Byrd/Belardi/Hollinger Chevy.
