IndyCar has released the official starting lineup Sunday morning to accommodate the grid penalties incurred for engine changes for the 11 Chevrolet cars in the field and three of the five Lotus entries. Dario Franchitti will start on pole alongside Josef Newgarden. Hondas occupy nine of the top 10 positions, Alex Tagliani bumped up to 10th in his Team Barracuda-BHA Lotus. Fastest qualifier Ryan Briscoe starts 11th, and Ryan Hunter-Reay, who led the morning warmup (ABOVE), rolls off 13th.
Franchitti's team repaired the left front suspension of his Target Chip Ganassi Racing DW12-Honda after slight contact in turn 5 to end the morning warm-up.
