The starting grid for the upcoming Indianapolis 500 has now been officially completed after Bump Day that was held at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday.
Good news for the Lotus-powered teams as Jean Alesi (Fan Force United) and HVM’s Simona de Silvestro are both on for the race after formally qualifying for the race. Still, both are at least 12 mph slower than the poslesitter.
Quickest of the Bump Day runners was Dragon's Sebastien Bourdais, whose team, Dragon Racing switched from Lotus to Chevrolet power last week.
