Four drivers competed for the final three spots on the grid for the Indianapolis 500: Marco Andretti, Marcus Armstrong, Rinus Veekay, and Jacob Abel.
Andretti and Armstrong set solid qualifying times, while Abel and Veekay struggled to match their pace.
As the deadline loomed, Veekay made the bold decision to re-qualify, but ended up with a slower time.
In the end, Abel’s attempt fell short, leaving Veekay as the last man standing for the race.
Veekay expressed mixed emotions about making the cut, knowing his friend and teammate Abel missed out on his first Indy 500 opportunity.
Abel, disappointed but determined, acknowledged the challenges faced and hoped for a chance to race at the iconic event in the future.
