2011 Indianapolis 500 Qualifying Results lineup

World Top Stories News - 2011 Indianapolis 500 Qualifying Results lineup - Marco Andretti Qualifies for Indy 500 on Final Run : Marco Andretti put himself back in the Indianapolis 500 lineup by qualifying on the final run Sunday. Just minutes after he was bumped from the field by Alex Lloyd, Andretti posted a four-lap qualifying average of 224.628 miles an hour. He will start 28th, the inside of Row 10, in the May 29 race.

A little more than an hour earlier, Danica Patrick got the break she needed: a dry track. Her qualifying run of 224.861 m.p.h. put her in the No. 26 spot. She had pulled out of the qualifying line when her car failed inspection, then waited through two rain delays before making a qualifying attempt.

The Formula One leader Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull held off Lewis Hamilton of McLaren to win the Spanish Grand Prix in Bareclona for his fourth victory in five races. Vettel took the lead for good after the second round of pit stops to beat Hamilton by six-tenths of a second and widen his lead in the standings over Hamilton to 41 points.
