Andretti Sits Out Practice Session


INDIANAPOLIS – A couple of minutes of practice remain, but no one seems eager to take advantage. It looks like the top five in practice this morning will be:
1.) Helio Castroneves, 227.744 mph
2.) Ana Beatriz, 226.187 mph
3.) Ryan Briscoe, 226.027 mph
4.) Dario Franchitti, 225.846 mph
5.) James Hinchcliffe, 225.784.

What about Marco Andretti, who had the fastest lap of the week entering today? He did not turn a lap at speed. He did leave pit lane, then came in. Also notable by his absence was teammate Ryan Hunter-Reay, who did not leave the pits as far as I could tell.

Qualifying starts at 11 a.m. Tony Kanaan drew the first spot, followed by Simona de Silvestro. De Silvestro was the slowest of the 30 drivers who practiced this morning with a lap at 214.939 mph. In addition to Andretti and Hunter-Reay, Jean Alesi also did not practice.
