Rain washes out 1st day of qualifications at Indy 500 (The Associated Press)

Ryan Hunter-Reay finished the rain-shortened first day of Indianapolis 500 qualifying in the same spot he finished last year’s race – No. 1. After Hunter-Reay posted the faster of two four-lap qualification runs Saturday, finishing with an average speed of 229.845 on the 2.5-mile oval, heavy rain washed out the rest of qualifying and both times from the completed runs. The only other driver to finish a qualifying run was Colombia’s Carlos Huertas. If weather permits, all drivers including Huertas and Hunter-Reay will get one attempt Sunday morning.
