Grid Notes:

- Ganassi Racing strong

- Penske Racing 8th and 9th?.....

- Vision Racing continues their strong showing this year

- Kanaan sounded severely pissed off during live streaming, saying the team really needed to notch up a gear or two as the car was just SLOW. Danica in third when the other three Andretti Greens trail behind in 11th, 13th and 14th.

- Roth Racing's Marty Roth in 7th. What the heck?

- Healthy grid number

- Transition teams from ChampCar do no better than 17th after posting a high of 12th at Homestead (17,18, 19, 20, 22, 23, 25, 26, … 27 may be out due to repairs - crash)

But as Scott Dixon told the pit reporter: "Qualifying doesn't mean a lot at Kansas, you can start last and still work your way up the field and win."
