In the final practice for the Indianapolis 500, it’d be Will Power topping the charts behind the wheel of the No. 1 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet. He recorded the best lap of the session at 229.020 mph. He will start the 500 mile event from the second spot behind Scott Dixon.
“There’s quite a few good cars out there that are going to make their way to the front. I think our plan is just to try to stay up there all day,” Power said. “In this session, you’re pretty well set with what you’re going to run. It’s just making some tweaks here and there and practicing pit stops.”
Dixon was second quickest in the session, 0.0749 seconds off of Power’s quick time. Tony Kanaan was third quickest as he searches for his second victory in the Greatest Spectacle of Racing, followed by Simon Pagenaud and Takuma Sato.
Charlie Kimball was sixth quickest, followed by Sage Karam, JR Hildebrand, Gabby Chaves and Helio Castroneves.
Notably, points leader Juan Pablo Montoya was only 15th quickest as he fought sensor issues throughout the hour long session.
