| 0:00.0 | Indianapolis Motor Speedway here on a Monday. Quarian Company, good afternoon to you. Thanks for |
| 0:05.3 | joining us and joining us now, the guy that will lead the field for the 108th running of the |
| 0:09.5 | Indianapolis 500-mile race, Scott McLaughlin. And Scott, that's a tall order when I say it that way, |
| 0:14.6 | right? You're going to have 32 cars behind you, which I guess beats the alternative. But congratulations |
| 0:18.3 | on your poll run. Thank you, Jake. Yeah, unreal. |
| 0:27.5 | You know, just a huge day. I can't really remember much of the pole run, apart from the sort of final lap through one and two. It was definitely just skating and it was getting quite loose, |

| 1:23.8 | speed up for a big first lap. And both runs in fast 12 and fast 6 I had big first |
