Paul Tracy has failed to qualify for this year Indianapolis 500 after withdrawing his speed and then failing to improve on a highly dramatic Bump Day.
Meanwhile and despite their respective crashes on Saturday, both Tony Kanaan and Takuma Sato made it. They had left both on the outside going into Sunday's six-hour session to decide the final nine spots in the field. As both made it in, Paul Tracy eventually ended up on the bubble in 33rd, having also started today outside the cut as he had failed to muster sufficient speed on Pole Day. Confident he could improve his pace, he withdrew his time with 10 minutes to go but effectively knocked himself out of the race as his new attempt was slower than his existing speed. The achievement of the day was certainly the qualification run of Bruno Junquiera who had just nine practice laps in Fazzt's second car before the Bump Day session as he immediately turned in a speed that would have got him into the top 10 alongside team-mate Alex Tagliani had he run yesterday. 2010 Indianapolis 500 Starting Grid Pos Driver Team Speed 1.
