Jones, still undefeated in 2015, will line up third on the grid, next to?Kyle Kaiser in the second Juncos entry.?RC Enerson?looked to topple the apple cart with a stunning pole run, but the USF2000 graduate would settle for starting inside row three, next to Formula 1 veteran?Max Chilton in the second Carlin car.
Felix Serrales will head up row four for Belardi Auto Racing, next to?Scott Anderson?in another Schmidt Peterson car.?Sean Rayhall qualified ninth in his debut for the returning 8Star Motorsports team, and will grid up alongside Colombian?Juan Piedrahita.
