Grosjean shines on bad day for Andretti cars in Indy qualifying

After everyone other than Stefan Wilson and Colton Herta had completed their first run – both required engine changes – Grosjean was sitting ninth, and therefore able to graduate to the Fast 12 segment of qualifying tomorrow.

"I think we were expecting more wind like this morning [in practice] and the wind didn’t pick up, so the conditions were very good," said Grosjean. "We played it too safe for our first run, but it’s OK because if the conditions are similar or the same, we should have a good run tomorrow.”
