Honda dominates Indy Qualifications

[Audioquest]

Honda brought the horsepower to the Brickyard this year. The increase in boost pressure for qualifying really suited their engine mapping. Only one Ilmor-Chevrolet engine was in the top 13 spots and Team Penske was shut out of the Fast 9.

Honda gets to gloat for a week, but in the race, fuel mileage and durability are going to more important than power over a four lap run.

I miss the days of CART running the Indy 500.

Looks like they get to gloat for a year. 8 out of the top 10 cars were Honda powered and the only time a Chevy led on the lead strategy was when the Corvette pace car was out on the track.

Love seeing the "H" win. Apparently they had many of the higher positions covered too.

Yes, they can, and seem likely to take the season championship as well, if Dixon keeps doing what he's doing.
