Tony Kanaan had the fastest time in the 10-33 qualifying round. The big surprise was Alexander Rossi, whose first lap was 227, but slowed to a 221 on his last lap. He will start 32nd.

Rumors are still swirling about James Hinchcliffe replacing a qualified driver. There is one strong rumor out there. I do not report rumors. I will say it’s the one that makes the most sense for all parties involved.

The Fast Nine begins in a few minutes. I will have an up date afterwards. My full weekend wrap up will be posted on wildfireradiosports later tonight.
