How about Kyle Kaiser and Juncos Racing? Now questions will be asked whether McLaren and Alonso might consider buying a spot on the grid... Remember, James Hinchcliffe did not do that last year, having failed to make the grid in similar circumstances.

What a difference a month makes for Simon Pagenaud: "It's a very special time. My mum is calling me now! Thank you to Team Chevy and Menards. Obviously last week was amazing, but I can't thank Team Penske enough. All the engineers worked really well, I'm on cloud nine – this is the biggest race in the world!
"My heart-rate is really high. Getting a pole under my belt is amazing. The goal is to win the race. We have the best car, the best engine, we saw that today. A lot can happen, but we just need to execute."
