Marco Downplays Pole Possibilities


INDIANAPOLIS – Despite having the fastest speed in practice entering Fast Friday, Marco Andretti isn’t quite ready to anoint himself the favorite for the pole.
“I’d be happy with something in the top 10,” he said Friday morning during a media availability. “I’m off the pace compared with my teammates. I’ll be flat, I’ll tell you that.”
The third-generation driver set the pace with a lap of 223.676 mph on Wednesday. He did not run on Thursday.
Scott Dixon, the 2008 Indianapolis champion, is the only other driver above 223 (223.088 mph).
Andretti’s best Indianapolis 500 start is seventh in 2008.
