Andretti machines were seventh and eighth, Alexander Rossi ahead of Takuma Sato, while home-hero James Hinchcliffe ended the session in ninth for Schmidt Peterson Motorsport ahead of AJ Foyt Racing’s Carlos Muñoz.
Tony Kanaan was the best placed of the Chip Ganassi Racing quartet in eleventh, but his team-mates Scott Dixon, Charlie Kimball and Max Chilton were seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth respectively, ahead only of JR Hildebrand, who crashed his Ed Carpenter Racing machine, and Conor Daly.
Spencer Pigot ended up twelfth for Ed Carpenter Racing ahead of Esteban Gutierrez of Dale Coyne Racing, with Marco Andretti fifteenth ahead of Sebastian Saavedra, in the #7 Schmidt Peterson Motorsport machine this weekend in place of Mikhail Aleshin, and Ed Jones.
