That was an Andretti follow up to Monday’s practice (Tuesday’s was rained out) when Marco Andretti posted the fastest overall lap, at 228.978.

INDIANAPOLIS Ryan Hunter-Reay returned to the top of the IndyCar world Wednesday. The speedways museum, an enhanced Midway and concession stands will open at 6 a.m. ESPNs SportsCenter will tape two segments from Pagoda Plaza, and the Borg-Warner Trophy will leave the museum at 8 a.m. before being taken to the Yard of Bricks.UP NEXT: A six-hour practice session is scheduled Thursday.
Hunter-Reay won the 2014 Indy 500 title and the 2012 series championship.
The first stands for “no-tow speed”, or the lap speed a vehicle achieved around the 2.5-mile oval without help of an aerodynamic tow. “I saw the auto lift on the video replay but when it happens so quick I didn’t really feel it get off the ground for a brief moment”.
“I think we have a little work to do but we can be right there tomorrow. As a group, I think the Andretti Autosport cars are somewhat happy with our balance”, Hunter-Reay said. “I’m super proud to be in one of their cars”.
“We’re just going to line it up and see what it has”, Andretti said. I’m excited. I think Conor is an incredible talent.
Chaves was only confirmed to race in the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 in place of Luca Filippi mere days before last weekend’s Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indy, and his pace around IMS proves that Dale Coyne Racing have appeared to make a good decision. The 126G impact is the largest impact recorded in IndyCar Series history. Ilmor’s first Indy vehicle race win came on the Streets of Long Beach in 1987 with Mario Andretti. Then he put the pressure on Daly by “guaranteeing” an Indy 500 victory.
Only four of the top 10 were Chevrolets.
“I can’t really tell at this stage”, said Miller. “I am very proud of the many Ilmor employees who have contributed to this achievement”.

Co-founder Penske has been a major beneficiary of Ilmor’s success. “Team Penske is proud to be associated with Ilmor and the legacy of success that the company continues to build in motorsports”, Penske said. As yet, Miller is uncertain whether that will alter the gap relative to Chevrolet.
