The two Saturday qualifying sessions at Indianapolis determined the positions outside of the top 12 and track temperatures had dropped by the end of the initial runs of the second segment.
Callum Ilott of Juncos Hollinger Racing was the first to do a retake run and improved by 0.7mph but only gained three places, and lost two of those straight afterwards when Dale Coyne Racing put rookie David Malukas and veteran Takuma Sato in line.
