Larry Morgan is making his 20th Indy start, his first coming in 1988. He won the race in 1999. Rickie Jones continues to run well and this is his best starting spot in four trips to Indy. It's also the 7th time he has been in the top half of the field in 12 races this year. Jones holds a 3-2 edge against Morgan in prior events, 2-0 in round one.

Morgan had a nice holeshot and led briefly, but Jones took over before the 330-foot marker. He led past 1,000 feet with ease, then his car nosed over and Morgan almost caught him.

Rickie Jones' incremental margins (negative if behind): 60ft(-0.009), 330 ft(0.011), 660ft(0.018), 1,000ft(0.012). MOV: 0.0029 seconds (approximately 11 inches).

Jones will not have lane choice when he faces Anderson in round two.
