Helio Castroneves Tops Charts in Third Augie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis Practice

At the end of the third practice for the Augie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis, it’d be Team Penske’s Helio Castroneves topping the charts with a lap of one minute and 10.3756 seconds.

Castroneves looks to make Verizon IndyCar Series history this weekend as he will be making his 300th career start. The Brazilian driver, notably, was only seven tenths off of the track record set in last year’s inaugural event by Simon Pagenaud.

Sebastien Bourdais, who led the first practice this weekend, was second quickest, only two hundreths off of Castroneves’ quick time. Pagenaud was third quickest, followed by fellow Team Penske teammate Will Power. Scott Dixon, who led yesterday’s second session, rounded out the top-five.

Juan Pablo Montoya was sixth, followed by Tony Kanaan, Graham Rahal, Charlie Kimball and Stefano Coletti.
