    Mike Conway could be excused if he had sounded overly excited Saturday.

    Nearly 10 months after a savage accident in the Indianapolis 500 left him with multiple fractures in his lower left leg and a fractured vertebra, he continued an excellent weekend by qualifying fourth for today's Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.

    On top of that, this is his first race with Andretti Autosport.

    Yet the 28-year-old kept cool after qualifying, in which his best lap of 103.629 mph (1 minute, 2.5306 seconds) put him in the second row. He said he didn't have a problem keeping his adrenaline in check.

    "Yeah, I feel good," Conway said. "Full of energy, so ready to go."
