His 48T car is put in line just in case. He will not make the field. While the Didero cleanup continues, Guerrero resurfaces in the No. 20 Hubbard-Immke car. Guerrero jumped in the 20 after Hideshi Matsuda was taken to the hospital with a broken wrist after wadding up his third Hubbard-Immke machine in two days. The man who replaced Guerrero in the Foyt car goes out for an attempt.
Boat runs two strong laps but the car mysteriously shuts off on the third circuit.
Knowing that the 41 car has no other attempts, Boat coasts around and somehow gets the engine to refire. He gets in the field but with a speed of 192.105 that is sure to be beaten. Knapp uses every inch of the speedway in the Infiniti-powered 24T car and posts a solid speed of 220.290. Ending speculation, Dr. Jack Miller will try to qualify his own car. The 21 car had seen co-owner Tony Stewart in the cockpit for practice but Miller takes over and rolls off pit lane.
