Ok there is the field set for next weeks Indy 500
Bump day is happening today so there may be a few changes down the back of the grid.

I believe Arie Jnr is the only car remaining to make the field (but I could be wrong.

Thread is now also open for discussion

Arie jr will probably qualify and complete the grid, can't see anyone else having a go.
