Conway's teammate Justin Wilson finished third.

Hours earlier, Conway won his first career IndyCar pole and will start first in the second race of the doubleheader on Sunday. Dale Coyne Racing picked Conway to drive in Detroit earlier this week. Coyne's No. 18 Honda was driven by Ana Beatriz in the first five races this year.

Arkansas athletic directortees off on Ohio State's Gee

Long issued a statement Saturday in which he recognized Gee's apology to Bielema, whom Gee called a "thug" in a meeting of Ohio State's Athletic Council in December. However, Long left little doubt about his feelings about the brash comments made by Gee, who has come under fire this week after an Associated Press report revealed he mocked Notre Dame, Roman Catholics and the Southeastern Conference during the meeting.
