Kanaan’s Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda turned a 225.341mph lap on the 71st of 80 laps today, 0.1mph ahead of Ed Carpenter Racing-Chevrolet of Conor Daly.
Santino Ferrucci’s best lap of the day held firm for third fastest despite suffering a heavy shunt on his 51st lap.
His team, Rahal Letterman Lanigan-Honda, found its misery compounded when IndyCar decided to hand out a punishment for its role in this morning’s minor shunt.
Josef Newgarden’s Penske-Chevrolet looked very strong on long runs, as did Alex Palou’s Ganassi-Honda, despite finishing the day 11th – and these two completed over 120 laps.
2008 winner Scott Dixon was fifth ahead of Rinus VeeKay, making it two Carpenter cars in the top six.
Three-time winner Helio Castroneves’ part-time Meyer Shank Racing entry was seventh, while Marcus Ericsson looked strong for the third straight day in the #8 Ganassi car.
Takuma Sato, defending winner, brought some pleasure to the RLL team, very happy with the handling of his car, while Colton Herta was top Andretti Autosport-Honda representative in 10th.
Most drivers spent the day running race setups, so most drivers’ no-tow speeds didn’t improve from the first half of the day. Jack Harvey clocked fastest lap fter or Meyer Shank Racing-Honda at 222.091mph, with the Penskes of Pagenaud, Power and Newgarden second, fourth and fifth respectively, Alexander Rossi’s Andretti car third, and Ed Carpenter sixth.
