McLaren dominates first day of Indy 500 qualifying.
Felix Rosenqvist set the fastest four-lap average in the first qualifying session for the Indy 500, with Alexander Rossi making it a McLaren 1-2. The primary target was to get inside the top 12 positions, allowing drivers to transfer into Sunday’s Fast 12 session to decide the first four rows of the starting grid. Tony Kanaan, who starts his final race next weekend, rolled back the years with a 233.347mph effort to make it three McLarens in the top six. Positions 13-30 are now set, and these cars won’t run tomorrow.
