Ran it. Fast.

Driver/position/lap associations


Alexander Rossi — Qualifying rank 17 / starting grid position 17 (car #20).
David Malukas — Best lap number 17 in combined qualifying (car #12).
Rinus VeeKay — Practice 2 rank 17 (car #76).
Santino Ferrucci — Practice 1 rank 17 (car #14).
Scott Dixon — Best lap number 17 in Practice 1 (car #9).


147 laps — Race distance (contains “17”)


1.7m — Referenced in coverage of the Leaders Circle (financial stakes for lower teams entering the weekend).

No car #17 appears in the 25-car IndyCar entry list!!
(numbers used: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 21, 26, 27, 28, 45, 47, 60, 66, 76, 77).

Voluntary disclosure: It took [F] 17m (with one 1.7m break) to compile and format this report.
