After more than 8,400 laps of practice over seven sessions and one round of qualifications on the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval, nine Verizon IndyCar Series drivers have one shot at the pole for the 98th Running of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race. Little separated the fastest qualifier -- Ed Carpenter (230.661 mph) -- and Ryan Hunter-Reay (230.011) in ninth in Round 1. Five different teams are represented in the Fast Nine Shootout. "I think we have a good chance for the pole but the field is very tight this year," said Carpenter, who earned the 2013 Verizon P1 Award with a four-lap average of 228.762 mph in the No. 20 Fuzzy's Ultra Premium Vodka car. "It will come down on who gets it right on the day for the pole. It really comes down to being perfect for four laps."
