Just announced tentative start to practice this morning is 8:45. Each group will get an equal length of practice time. The worst of the weather is supposed to arrive between noon and 2. This will be one of those go with the flow days with lots of schedule adjustments. Look for updates on weather all day here.

Thanks to Mike Joachim and Jess Baker for having me on Pit Lane Parley last night. It was a great discussion. You can listen by going to wildfireradiosports.com, clicking on the podcast link at the top. It is Episode 22. I think I did well enough that they won’t have to cancel the show.

Is Rahal in Trouble?

Graham Rahal’s no tow rank of 34 is concerning. He may be starting from the back again. Except for Thursday, the team has struggled to find speed.
