Not yet qualified: Milka Duno (wave off) Jay Howard attempted to bump his way back in the field, but his run of 223.610 mph was too slow. Paul Tracy still clung to the 33rd position. In a surprising move, he withdrew his speed at 5:50 p.m. Tracy hoped to put in a safer speed, and prevent Howard from getting another chance to qualify. Tracy's withdraw re-instated Sebastián Saavedra to the 33rd position. Tracy, however, got very loose in the hot conditions, and his speed ended up being slower. He waved off after only two laps, and hurriedly got back into the qualifying line. After quick wave-offs by Jaques Lazier and Milka Duno, the clock was running out. Sensing they were finally safe, Tony Kanaan's crew pulled their car out of line. Howard moved back to the front of the qualifying line with Tracy second in line. With just minutes until the close of qualifying, the rear of the field consisted of the following drivers: 31. Takuma Sato - 224.178 mph 32. Tony Kanaan - 224.075 mph 33. Sebastián Saavedra - 223.634 mph (on the "bubble") Too slow: Jay Howard - 223.610 mph Withdrew: Paul Tracy Failed to qualify: Jaques Lazier, Milka Duno With two minutes left in the day, Jay Howard made his third and final attempt, in order to keep Tracy off the track. Howard's effort, however, was slower than the bubble speed. The 6 o'clock gun fired with Tracy still waiting in line. When Tracy withdrew his earlier attempt (223.892 mph), Sebastián Saavedra's car was re-instated to 33rd position, and he held on to make the field, while lying in a hospital bed. For the shoestring budget Bryan Herta Autosport team, the day was remembered as the "Bump Day Miracle." Milka Duno made three attempts during the day, and none were run to completion. Jaques Lazier, who took over at the Foyt team, found little speed in his three attempts, and also missed the field. Howard and Tracy, however, were the heartbreak stories of the day. After qualifying closed, Andretti Autosport decided to replace Tony Kanaan's qualified back-up car with the primary machine. The decision forced Kanaan to move to the 33rd position, but since he had qualified 32nd, it was a drop of only one spot on the grid.
