His four laps combined are almost a second slower than Hinch's.
226.085 - that's an average of 226.192. He should be worried
Chilton is on track now. And begins his flying laps.
Max led 50 laps in the 2017 Indy 500. It's his best oval.
Hinch is faster than five cars achieved on Saturday, although he will not be allowed to start ahead of them. The best he can start is 31st
Fourth lap is 227.054, and his average is 227.543. That looks very solid
Very consistent laps from the Canadian. Not bad on a "green" track.
227.722 for Lap 2 in his #5T car that replaces the one he wrecked yesterday.
Can he make the field for the seventh time, having missed last year's race?
For Hinch, go or go home time comes right now!
And up first it's James Hinchcliffe. He is now on track.
But first, it's go or go home time. Three of the six drivers will make it, three will go home.

After this session, it's The Fast Nine shootout. Drivers will be granted just one four-lap run each and will run in the reverse order to their speeds from yesterday:

Josef Newgarden, #2 Team Penske-Chevrolet
Simon Pagenaud, #22 Team Penske-Chevrolet
Will Power, #12 Team Penske-Chevrolet
Spencer Pigot, #21 Ed Carpenter Racing-Chevrolet

First up, it's the Last Row qualification shootout, with six drivers gunning for positions 31 through 33 on the grid for the 103rd Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge will start at 4.30pm local (Eastern) time.

Each driver will get just a single four-lap run, in the following order –

Fernando Alonso, #66 McLaren Racing-Chevrolet
Sage Karam, #24 Dreyer & Reinbold Racing-Chevrolet
