Lundgaard Tops Practice 2 Amid More Disruptions

Christian Lundgaard was the only driver to beat the track record in the second Indycar practice session. practice was delayed 25 minutes because of lightning in the area.

The weather delayed Indy NXT qualifying and thus pushed back the start of Iindycar practice.

Nine minutes into the session Pato O’Ward spun into the tire barrier and damaged the left front corner of his car. The red flag also few for Will Power, who spun without hitting anything at the top of the corkscrew and Santino Ferrucci, who appeared to lose an engine. Ferrucci may have a six place grid penalty assessed if the team needs to change the engine.

Green time has been at a premium this weekend. Today’s practice had just 35 minutes of green flag time. the longest segment was 16 minutes. The situation meant a crowded track where it was difficult for anyone to get a clean lap.

Teams fgot very little, if any, time on the alternate tires yesterday. Qualifying is going to be interesting.
