Graham Rahal says his returning team-mate Takuma Sato’s qualifying pace at the Indianapolis 500 is an “anomaly” due to him having “a hell of an engine”.
Rahal will go into his second consecutive last-chance qualifying with his family-run, Honda-powered Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing team, 12 months after being bumped from the Indy 500 field in agonizing circumstances. He could only manage the 33rd fastest four-lap average around the Speedway, and will now battle with Katherine Legge, Marcus Ericsson and Nolan Siegel for the final three spots on the grid – with one of them going home after today’s session. But in contrast to his struggle to 230.
“We've got to figure out why we've lost some speed over the last couple of days and just go from there. “I know a lot of you guys are probably sitting in here thinking I'm out of my mind, but we did make gains this year. If we had stayed static to where we were last year, we'd be in the 228s , based on where Ganassi is. ‘We were five to six miles an hour off. We're not there anymore. But, unfortunately, a few things have happened, and the Chevys have stepped up their game.
