Members of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway safety crew wait for the track to dry under the front stretch pagoda on Saturday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. A rain shower around 3:30 p.m. forced qualification attempts to stop. However, since the rain shower was very short track officials managed to dry the track off enough in order to have an abbreviated version of the "fast nine shoot-out" to see who would take the pole.
