Scott Carpenter put his #20 Fuzzy’s Vodka Dallara-Chevrolet on the pole for the Indianapolis 500 Saturday evening, beating the biggest teams in the paddock.

Carpenter is an Indiana native, which earned him the affection of the Indianapolis crowd before he started. That affection increased when he made it into the Fast Nine, and when his time survived the assaults to remain fastest, the crowd noise was deafening.
