Today’s Schedule: All times pacific.

8:30 am-9:30 am- IndyCar Practice 2

11:30 am- 1:00 pm- IndyCar Qualifying

2:00 pm- IMSA race (100 minutes) GTP and GTD

Based on yesterday’s practice, the alternates are faster, but how long will they last? Teams appeared to be saving primaries for the race, resulting in less on track action. Will Power, yesterday’s leader, completed only 20 laps.

Maybe IndyCar should shorten the first practice a bit to encourage cars to be on track for the entire session.

IMSA

BMW locked out the front row with their third straight pole of the season. The team has yet to have success in a race. The Penske Porsches are in Row 2 and poised to take their third straight victory.

Today’s race marks the return of Robert Wickens to major competition. He will start eight in the GTD field. He called his qualifying effort “frustrating.”

Wickens will be in the ble Corvette (I know) number 36.

I’ll be back after practice with the qualifying groups,
