The red flag was displayed, canceling the two best times of the 2012 champion. And it was the Colombian Sebastian Saavedra who placed his KV Racing DW12 at the top of the starting grid, the first pole of his career.

In the end, he was ahead of Bryan Herta Autosport rookie Jack Hawksworth and Ryan Hunter-Reay finally 3rd. simon pagenaud (Schmidt Peterson Motorsports), in good spirits during the last free practice session in the rain, will start 4th ahead of the leader of the general classification Will Power (Penske) and the 2013 champion Scott Dixon on his DW12 from Team Ganassi.

Sébastien Bourdais, teammate of the poleman of the day, failed at the gates of Fast6 in 7th position, while Franck Montagny, who is driving on behalf of Andretti Autosport for this Grand Prix of Indianapolis, will start from 21st position.
