Jonathan Byrd INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Jonathan Byrd, a longtime Indianapolis 500 car owner, died Thursday. He was 57. Paul Kelly, a spokesman for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, said Byrd died in Greenwood. Byrd had been disabled by a stroke since 2004.

From: www.afp.com

Dutch driver Robert Doornbos shrugged off two practice crashes last week and booked his berth in the Indianapolis 500 Saturday on the penultimate day of qualifying. Doornbos notched the fastest time in the third round of qualifying, when the last 11 places in the 33-car field were filled for the May 24 race at the fabled 2.5-mile (four kilometre) Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval. The drama isn't over however, because Sunday's final qualifying will give three drivers a chance to bump the slowest qualifiers from the first three rounds from the field.
