Yesterday’s Indycar practice favored the teamsthat practiced last week, Arrow McLaren and Coyne. Today we will see what the other teams learned Friday and how they apply their findings. Alexander Rossi said after practice that the alternate tires were not faster, and that could change qwalifying strategy.

I’m going to try viewing from the new turn 8 *carousel) this morning. I had a brief view of the area yesterday afternoon, and it looks amazing.

The weather today is beautiful. Slightly warmer than yesterday morning and then temperature shouldreach the upper 70s. We have not seen any haze from the Canadian wildfires.

The crowd today looks significantly arger tha Friday’s already.

I’ll be back with a post practice report and the qualifying groups.
