However, this was swiftly eclipsed by rookie David Malukas – 1min14.8, same as he produced in Q1 – and then Pato O’Ward sprung the Arrow McLaren SP-Chevy to the top with a 1min14.6681.<\/p>\n Scott Dixon and Alexander Rossi were on their final flying laps, when Romain Grosjean banged the wall at Turn 12, appeared to bend his rear suspension, and then spun hard into the wall at Turn 13. That brought out the red flag, preventing Dixon and Rossi from getting a chance to advance, so Newgarden could breathe a sigh of relief as he was through to the Firestone Fast Six.<\/p>\n Marcus Ericsson was unhappy with teammate Dixon backing up toward him trying to find a gap, for his flyer, but it was the kind of incident seen throughout the field, throughout the session, throughout the weekend.<\/p>\n \n \n\n\n\n P.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n Name<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n FTime<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n Diff<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n FL<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n Laps<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n Engine<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n Tire<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n Team<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n\n 1<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Pato O’Ward<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1: 14.6681<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1: 14.6681<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Chevy<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n TO<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n Arrow McLaren SP<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n\n 2<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n David Malukas<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1: 14.8251<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 0.1570<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 4<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Honda<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n TO<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n Dale Coyne Racing with HMD<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n\n 3<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Helio Castroneves<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1: 14.8593<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 0.1912<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Honda<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n TO<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n Meyer Shank Racing<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n\n 4<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Simon Pagenaud<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1: 14.9172<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 0.2491<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Honda<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n TO<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n Meyer Shank Racing<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n\n 5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Takuma Sato<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1: 14.9363<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 0.2682<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Honda<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n TO<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n Dale Coyne Racing w \/ RWR<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n\n 6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Josef Newgarden<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1: 15.0289<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 0.3608<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Chevy<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n TO<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n Penske team<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n\n 7<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Colton Herta<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1: 15.1043<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 0.4362<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Honda<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n TO<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n Andretti Autosport w \/ Curb-Agajanian<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n\n 8<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Marcus Ericsson<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1: 15.2279<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 0.5598<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 4<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Honda<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n TO<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n Chip Ganassi Racing<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n\n 9<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Scott Dixon<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1: 15.4057<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 0.7376<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Honda<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n TO<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n Chip Ganassi Racing<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n\n 10<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Scott McLaughlin<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1: 15.8670<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1.1989<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 3<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Chevy<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n TO<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n Penske team<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n\n 11<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Alexander Rossi<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1: 16.2179<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1.5498<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 2<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 6<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Honda<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n TO<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n Andretti Autosport<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n\n 12<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Romain Grosjean<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 1: 16.9740<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 2.3059<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 4<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n 5<\/p>\n<\/td>\n | \n Honda<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n TO<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n\n Andretti Autosport<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table><\/div>\n Q1 Group 2<\/strong><\/p>\nDavid Malukas in the Dale Coyne Racing with RWR-Honda topped the times on primaries, 1min16.3251sec, ahead of the Andretti Autosport-Hondas of Alexander Rossi and Colton Herta, followed by Scott Dixon (Ganassi), Rinus VeeKay (Ed Carpenter Racing) and Will Power (Team Penske).<\/p>\n Alex Palou was the first major runner to switch to alternate tires, but his 1min15.9493 was swiftly pushed down by Felix Rosenqvist, Rossi, Malukas, VeeKay, and then Scott Dixon produced a 1min15.3309sec.<\/p>\n Josef Newgarden then found a 1min15.2262, but that was beaten by Malukas who produced the first 74sec lap of the weekend, at 74.8833sec. Rossi and Herta also improved to also demote Newgarden, but he, Dixon and Sato clung on to move on into Q2.<\/p>\n Surprise eliminations at this stage were VeeKay of ECR, Will Power of Penske, and defending champion Palou.
