Rahal, who was bumped from the field last year, is among four cars trying for the last three spots in the 33-car field Sunday. Sato is the highest-qualified RLL driver after going ninth Saturday, putting him among the 12 going for the pole. The Argentine was screaming in Spanish in frustration on his radio and Chevrolet took full blame for the issue.
“On top of the cylinder heads in the air inlet system of the engine is a plenum, and there’s some port fuel injectors up there,” Buckner explained, “so while these engines are sustained high speed, that plenum is very full of fuel, and if we have any event over a downshift that can ignore that fuel, it ends up evaporating the plenum of its fuel air charge, temperatures rise rapidly, and to the driver it’s a perceived engine kill.
