INDIANAPOLIS — There was plenty of drama in the Month of May as 34 drivers competed for 33 spots in the 108th Indianapolis 500.
In the end, 32 men and one woman made the field and rookie contender Nolan Siegel, racing for Dale Coyne Racing, failed to make the field.
With the drama in the back of the field, there was little drama when it came to the fastest team of the many competing to get into "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing."
Team Penske dominated qualifications, with Scott McLaughlin leading the way in the famed “Yellow Submarine” entry.
McLaughlin’s four-lap average of 234.220 mph broke the mark set by reigning IndyCar champion Alex Palou last year of 234.217.
Will Power qualified second and defending race winner Josef Newgarden was third as Team Penske swept the front row for the first time since 1988 when it did so with Rick Mears, Al Unser Sr. and Danny Sullivan.
In total, the top eight spots in the field all went to Team Chevy drivers.
Indy 500 rookie, but former NASCAR champion Kyle Larson, became the fatest qualifying rookie ever for the race by landing in the fifth starting spot.
Katherine Legge is the only woman to make this year's race. She starts 31st.
