The trip to the Milwaukee Mile was very smooth as traffic wa slight through Chicago.

The big story concerns an erroneous announcement from Baranquilla, Colombia, confirming an IndyCar race in that cit5y in 2028. IndyCar issued the following statement refuting confirmation.:

It is always good policy to wait until IndyCar announces a race and its date before believing it will be on the schedule. With rumors of a race in Brazil for 2027, I am skeptical that two South American races will be on the calendar.

IndyCar practice isn’t until 5 pm Central time this evening. The timing is puzzling since both races will finish well before that hour. I’m not sure what teams can learn at that hour that will help them for the race or qualifying.

I will have a post practice wrap up this evening.
