It looks like te rest of the weekend will be dry, but today will begin cool. The temperature will be 5

7 degrees for the start of practice this morning, but when qualifying begins, it will be a near perfect 65 degrees. Tomorrow calls for a high of 80 degrees.

The slight contact between Romain Grosjean and Graham Rahal in Friday practice didn’t look like much of a big deal to me. I think the incident is magnified because Grosjean was involved. Grosjean has had a decent year, but he the clashes he has had with other drivers during his time at Andretti causes him to take the blame for each incident. I think he has been better this season, and maybe people should not be so quick to point hte finger at him every time.

I’m not sure if we will see a lap in the 57 second range today, but conditions should be ideal. It will be an interesting fight for the Fast Six. This morning’s practice may give us more clarity of hwo will be challenh[ging for pole.,

I’m heading to the track now. I will be back after morning practice. IndyCar has a compact, early schedule today, with a final practice four hours after qualifying ends.
