WTF Versus? No qualifying on tomorrow for Milwaukee.
It was originally scheduled for 6:30 pm as per http://www.indycar.com , now it just has race coverage scheduled. What's that about?

VS only does that for the races they air. Sadly ABC will be airing Milwaukee and 3 other races this season.

I just don't think I understand how they could have it on the website and then retract it a couple of days later.

I am 100% sure that when i signed on Monday morning after Indy to check the points standings/results/box score etc. I saw Qualifying scheduled to come on at 6:30 PM on Versus Saturday evening...then I signed on to the website again yesterday and it was gone (and is still gone).

And that's not the case, because they had countless hours of qualifying for Indy with the race on ABC.

I checked my cable guide and Versus doesn't have IC qualifying listed anywhere on Sat. From 6pm to 7pm it has something called WEC WrekCage listed. It must be a mistake by the web site.

Sorry to disappoint you, but we discussed this over a month ago and a few were complaining. This was discussed because the VS schedule was published back in early April and some were wondering why VS wasn't doing qualifying for every race. I think very early in the VS deal there was a possibility of qualifying for the ABC races, but as of March or so that was definitely not happening. What you saw was a web glitch if anything, as the VS schedule has been posted for awhile and ABC race qualifying wasn't on it. Indy qualifying is a whole separate thing in that VS devoted month of May to Indy, including parades, etc. and that was one of the highlights of their schedule.
