<P> Due to inclement weather on Saturday, qualifying for 2015 was to be retooled into a one - day format, mimicking the format from 2014 . However, after a major crash during the Sunday morning practice session, qualifying was further delayed, and the two - round format and Fast Nine Shootout were cancelled . Each car was given only one attempt to qualify, and positions 1--30 were locked in . In the final hour, a 45 - minute last row "shootout" was held to determine positions 31--33 . </P> <P> Sixty - five drivers have qualified for the pole position, one less than the number of race winners . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Country </Th> <Th> Driver </Th> <Th> Speed (mph) </Th> <Th> Speed (km / h) </Th> <Th> Finish Order </Th> <Th> Notes </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1911 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Lewis Strang </Td> <Td_colspan="2"> No full lap </Td> <Td> 29 </Td> <Td> The grid was arranged by the order that entries were received via U.S. mail . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1912 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Gil Andersen </Td> <Td> 80.93 </Td> <Td> 130.24 </Td> <Td> 16 </Td> <Td> Single lap qualifying; David L.
