From last night

Power Leads First Day

Today should be a less disjointed program with the one six hour session. R C Enerson will complete his rookie test beginning at 11 this morning.

It is nice having Juan Pablo Montoya and Helio Castroneves back for the 500. They add to an already strong field.

Sebastien Bourdais will receive a new engine after his mechanical issue and fire yesterday afternoon.

Will Power said he had a big tow on his fast lap, which is usually the case during practice.

Conor Daly had the fastest trap speed of 232 mph.

I will post updates as the day goes on.

Tomorrow a Pit Window tradition continues with my annual steps to fix qualifying. I just know Roger is going to listen to me this time.
