It’s Monday, May 22, 2023, and this is Who Won Where, your recap of last weekend’s racing action and headlines from around the world. Here are the results that you need to know in one place.

Rahal Letterman Lanigan found their four cars at the tail-end of the field after Qualifying’s first day. Katherine Legge, who qualified 30th in her first IndyCar appearance in a decade, was the only RLL driver to escape a second-day fight for survival.

RLL’s three full-time drivers, Graham Rahal, Christian Lundgaard and Jack Harvey, found themselves on the outside looking in with Dale Coyne Racing’s Sting Ray Robb. The four drivers were competing for the last three spots in the Indy 500. The struggling team hoped to avoid an intra-team struggle by outrunning Robb, but the session became a faceoff between Harvey and Rahal after the first runs.

Jack Harvey was the last driver out on track, but his second run wasn’t good enough to bump Rahal. He immediately made another attempt, rolling out of the pit lane with less than 90 seconds left on the clock. He was confident that a few minor adjustments would be enough to make the field. Harvey found the speed to pip Rahal’s average speed by 0.007 mph across the ten-mile run. The slim difference might have come down to issues with the weight jacker on Rahal’s car.

Last Chance Qualifying Results

- Christian Lundgaard (RLL) - 229.649 mph

- Sting Ray Robb (Coyne) - 229.549 mph

- Jack Harvey (RLL) - 229.166 mph

- Graham Rahal (RLL) - 229.159 mph [BUMPED]
