James Hinchcliffe Will Start on Pole at Indianapolis

In a nail biting ending to qualifying day from the Indianapolis 500 James Hinchcliffe knocked Tennessee native Josef Newgaraden off of the pole for the Indianapolis 500. Hinchcliffe of course was not able to race in the Indianapolis 500 last season after racing for his life after a practice crash before the Indianapolis 500. This is the ultimate comeback story for James and will certainly be one of the most eventful Indianapolis 500's in a long time. Ryan Hunter-Reay, Townsend Bell, Carlos Munoz, and Will Power round out the first two rows of 3 in the starting lineup.
