I think the idea is to dedicate the whole month to practise/qualifying before the race.

As for somebody qualifying faster than pole when theyve already been locked out, they probably should have made an attempt on the first day when pole was up for grabs. If they did, they probably werent fast enough. If Indy is like almost any other race track, especially those rarely used, it gets faster as theres more action and rubber being layed down.
