(Indianapolis, IN) – It was a day of cat and mouse with the weather as drivers and teams opened the first day of practice for the 109th running of the Indianapolis 500.
The forecast called for spotty showers on and off all day, and that’s what we got as practice was due to go off at Noon Eastern Time on Tuesday.
Delayed by just over two hours, the rain finally let up and practice was able to begin just before 3 p.m.
Will Power ended up quickest on the day at 227.026 mph.
More practice expected today, weather permitting.
