Race day draws closer.
Its about to go up a notch as the countdown to the 100th running of the Indy gets closer. After a week of practice on the famed oval with a day totally washed out with rain today saw the last pre qualifying practice runs to bring this phase of the pre race build up pretty much to an end. Saturday morning marks a final practice and then it's firmly game time.
Qualifying phase one starts Saturday local time and marks one of the two days in qualifying but a big day for everyone and a real chance to see what everyone has been working on this past week.
Today saw the Honda powered teams take 10 of the top 12 spots for the day but it was Chevy power Penske driver Will Power that was quickest today as dark skies hung around the speedway.
Current IndyCar series champ summed up his day with these words "We're fairly comfortable with where we are. The Target car feels decent, but the speed we're looking for maybe isn't really there right now. To be honest, out of the Chevys, (Will) Power is really the only one in his own league right now. I think out of the top 10 in no-tow speeds, there are only three Chevys. Hopefully things change before qualifying tomorrow but right now our race is for the top nine."
Catch all the events from the 100th Indy 500 here each day.
