V. Gaines continues to have a good year and this is the fourth time this year he has been the #2 qualifier. It's his best Indy start in seventeen tries. He was runner-up here in 1997. Warren Johnson has won Indy 6 times, but not since 1999. This will be his 38th Indy race. WJ is 14-10 against Gaines in prior races, but Gaines is 9-8 against WJ in round one matchups.

WJ had a nice edge at the green, but it wasn't enough to hold Gaines off because Gaines ran low ET of the event for the win.

V. Gaines' incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.031), 330 ft(-0.013), 660ft(0.008), 1,000ft(0.029). MOV: 0.0467 seconds (approximately 14 feet).

Gaines will have lane choice against Line in round two.
