2011 Indianapolis 500 Pole Day

Harkening back to the glory days of the event, Pole Day and Bump Day for the Indianapolis 500 saw high drama, including the possibility of one of racing's most visible stars, Danica Patrick, not making the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. While Danica did, in fact, make the show along with her Andretti Autosport teammates John Andretti and Marco Andretti, her other two AA partners, Ryan Hunter Reay and Mike Conway, did not qualify (both, ironically, are the last two winners of the Grand Prix of Long Beach). Thanks to a paycheck from Michael Andretti to AJ Foyt, RHR will make the field (for the straight skinny on that deal, check out new HSM fave Pressdog.com).
