Indy 500 rankings: No. 30 – Agustin Canapino

Agustin Canapino did a swell job in his first oval race at Texas Motor Speedway to stay out of trouble and bring the car home in one piece to finish in 12th place. A similar approach at Indianapolis Motor Speedway could very well result in a similar result, but in terms of his chances to win, he is one of the longshots. He should, however, safely make the field.

Indy 500 rankings: No. 29 – Sting Ray Robb

Sting Ray Robb very well could have finished in the top 10 in his IndyCar oval debut at Texas Motor Speedway, but a crash brought an early end to his afternoon. It’s a promising sign, however, that Dale Coyne Racing seemingly have solid speed heading into his Indy 500 debut.

Indy 500 rankings: No. 28 – Stefan Wilson

Dreyer & Reinbold Racing are generally seen as one of the strongest Indy 500-only teams (and that was the case even before they were literally the only Indy 500-only team), as they always have their cars ready to compete on race day.

Stefan Wilson has spoken very highly of the organization ahead of his first start with the team, and the addition of 2014 Indy 500 winner and 2012 series champion Ryan Hunter-Reay should be a big help. But with just one of his four starts coming from higher than 28th place and just one of his finishes being higher than 27th, can he truly contend?
