FRO is questionable following his crash last week. Cody Ware to prop up the rear of the field with Dalton and JJ.

Add to that Rinus VeeKay has suffered a clavicle (collarbone) injury after a bicycle accident in training, with his participation at the Road America round "pending". VeeKay is in good spirits and has no other injuries, and is currently being treated by IndyCar’s medical staff.. No word of anything specific (ie fracture or break) at this stage but no doubt more info will be available shortly.

Hopefully he will be back for Mid Ohio. Mind you a broken collarbone is not the best injury to have and then jump into an open wheeler car with all the g-forces and weight transfer with the shoulder straps of the harness right where it hurts.
Still, SVG managed it, albeit in a touring car, and he had 3 broken ribs as well to make matters worse.

That's a damn shame for VeeKay. Or Van Kerkoutehovensploofen or what his name actually is. ;)

Cool, I am not a big fan of K-Mag, but good to see him in Indy Car racing. Wonder if he will be blocking everyone?

Very cool. Would be great to see him in Indycar next year.

Meanwhile, Roberto Moreno is left scratching his scalp. Why isn't anyone calling?

Nice work by Johnson to start ahead of two others... But he's still the slowest, with Group 2 a bit faster.

Magnussen not exactly killing it. But it would be tough to step into an Indycar for the first time, and to do it at RA!

Dixon P13. Just wait for him to finish in the top 5 tomorrow.

Harvey once again impressive in qualifying. How will they screw up the race tomorrow?

Palou seems to be the real deal this year. Solidly fast once again.

Magnussen has zero track time with the tyres, and in the car. I think he did an awesome job considering the circumstances.
