Dixon stays on top at Kentucky

Scott Dixon kept up his early momentum at Kentucky by topping an ultra-close second session, while there was again little to separate title rivals Dario Franchitti and Will Power. The 2009 polesitter rose to the top of the timesheets with 15 minutes remaining and was never displaced, as several yellow flags for track debris disrupted the momentum of the session. Ryan Hunter-Reay (Andretti) moved into second in the final two minutes, following the third and final yellow flag break.
