Rahal was bumped from the field in the closing seconds of Sunday afternoon’s last-chance qualifying session by his Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing team-mate Jack Harvey by 0.0044s over the four-lap run. Harvey’s average speed of 229.166mph just pipped Rahal’s 229.159mph.
Rahal suffered a weightjacker failure during the session, but his first run was good enough for third behind team-mate Christian Lundgaard and Dale Coyne Racing’s rookie Sting Ray Robb.
