Will Power led Practice 1 for the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach and his Andretti teammates placed in the top six. Points leader Kyle Kirkwood finished third, and Marcus Ericsson was sixth fastest.

Scott McLaughlin had the second quickest time before he made contact with the turn 9 tire barrier.

Alex Palou led his small group and placed fourth.
Mick Schumacher continued his rocky start in IndyCar as his car stalled in turn 2 just 9 mi9nutes into the session. The crew told him not to restart the car. He did not return to the track.

Could this be the weekend Power regains his form? The first four races were difficult for him, but he had his best on track session of the season today.lFrom what I saw of the crowd on television, Sunday will have an enormous crowd. It looked like a race day crowd today, and I received word from a friend on site that it felt like race day.
