As the drivers tried out the red-sidewalled softer compound Firestones to give themselves a heads-up prior to qualifying, Power unleashed a 69.8759sec, the fastest lap of the weekend. However, this was still two seconds off his track record from last year, using the downforce-laden manufacturer aerokits. Power’s time equated to an average speed of 125.657mph around the 2.349-mile course.

King was around 0.07sec ahead of Andretti Autosport-Honda’s Alexander Rossi, while Robert Wickens landed in P4, although his Schmidt Peterson Motorsports-Honda teammate James Hinchcliffe remained mired down in 18^th, and had a couple more spins.

Simon Pagenaud rebounded from a disappointing morning session to end up fifth and just two-tenths off his teammate, with part-time returnee Helio Castroneves grabbing sixth.

Separating Helio from teammate and reigning champion Josef Newgarden in 10^th was Sebastien Bourdais (Dale Coyne Raing Honda), Spencer Pigot in the second ECR car, and the wild riding, curb-hopping, grass-cutting AJ Foyt Racing-Chevy of Tony Kanaan.

The Chip Ganassi Racing-Hondas of Scott Dixon and Ed Jones were a disappointing 13^th and 14^th, barely quicker than the impressively pedaled Carlin-Chevy of Max Chilton.

The field was covered by 1.25sec.
