Indy 500 pole speed predictions

Driver Speed
Ryan Briscoe 227 mph
Ed Carpenter 227
CARPENTER: "It keeps coming down, I think. I don't think it's going to go over 228. I'm thinking maybe high 227."
Helio Castroneves 228.5
Milka Duno 227
A.J. Foyt IV 227.5
Stephan Gregoire 226.5
Davey Hamilton 227.4
Jon Herb 230
Sam Hornish Jr. 228
Buddy Lazier 228
B. LAZIER: "It's always weather-dependent, but I wouldn't shy away from maybe a 228."
Jaques Lazier 227.4
Darren Manning 228
MANNING: "Well, I think high 228. I think if anybody does a (2)30, they probably deserve it."
Kosuke Matsuura 229
MATSUURA: "Last year was, I think, 229, and it depends on tomorrow and the wind direction. But if the wind comes from the south, I think 229."
Danica Patrick 225.5
Jeff Simmons 228
SIMMONS: "Well, whenever anybody asked me earlier, I thought that with the new torque, we'd see 230. But it seems to me that they don't want us to be there, and they're starting to take some power away. So I would say we'll probably see high 227, maybe a 228."
Dan Wheldon 228
WHELDON: "But I have no idea, to tell you the truth."
Rick Mears, who holds the Indianapolis 500 record with six poles, was asked for his prediction for the pole speed Saturday.
RICK MEARS: "No idea. I could not even guess my own when I ran."
