Not even an hour into the final full practice day before the 95th Indianapolis 500, the month's top time was topped not once, but twice! First, at about 12:10, Sarah Fisher Racing's Ed Carpenter posted the first lap over 228 this week, at 228.017 mph. Then, a little over a half an hour later, Sam Schmidt Motorsport's Alex Tagliani topped that time with a lap of 228.327 mph. Both drivers had some drafting assistance via cars in front of them that made those speeds possible.
Rounding out the Top 5 after the first hour was Vitor Meira (226.994), Townsend Bell (226.924), and Bertrand Baguette (226.820). A total of 36 cars have taken to the track so far. Speeds are expected to increase throughout the day, so keep an eye on @SeannyDIndy for more reports from IMS!
