Good morning. It’s qualifying day at Mid Ohio for the Honda Indy 200.

Today’s schedule:

10:30 Practice 3     NBC Gold

2:35  Qualifying     NBCSN

Andretti Autosport has announced a media availability at 12:30 today.  Could Silly Season come to an abrupt end?

Noticed some improvements at the track yesterday. The stairs leading up to the keyhole have been replaced with a new wooden staircase. It looks nice. A new grandstand is at the exit of turn 2. I understand it was put up for the ARX event earlier this year. I might check it out during this morning’s practice.

Some questions for today:

Can Colton Herta win his second pole of the year?

Will Simon Pagenaud continue his hot streak?

Will Alexander Rossi have a better day than yesterday?

Back with a post practice wrap-up.
