INDIANAPOLIS — Rinus VeeKay and his Ed Carpenter Racing team scrambled to repair the No. 21 Chevrolet after an early crash in Indianapolis 500 qualifying Saturday and finished with a flourish to make Sunday's pole shootout. The 23-year-old Dutch driver limped away from a hard crash on his first qualifying run and looked like he might start on the second to last row until rallying for a four-lap average 232.419 mph to finish 11th on his fourth and final attempt of the day. The top 12 drivers will compete for IndyCar's most coveted pole.
