Alonso was left fighting on the second qualifying day called “Bump Day” for the last two grid positions against five other drivers. Alonso was not able to out perform the other drivers and ended up 34th of the 36 car field when Kyle Kaiser who was the last driver to qualify average a four-lap speed just 0.019 mph faster than Fernando taking the last grid position for the 500.
Alonso triple crown hopes will be put on hold for next year as rumors turn that McLaren will enter a full season of IndyCar for 2020.
