Team Penske Sweeps Top Two Spots in First Honda Indy Toronto Practice

In the first practice for the Honda Indy Toronto, it’d be Team Penske teammates sweeping the top two spots on the speed charts.

2015 Indianapolis 500 winner Juan Pablo Montoya would top the charts with a lap of one minute and 0.63 seconds. Montoya is looking for his third victory of the season after winning the season opener at St. Petersburg. He enters this weekend as the series points leader.

Simon Pagenaud (pictured) was second quickest, 0.1579 seconds off of his teammate. Pagenaud has yet to win since moving to Team Penske over the off-season. He was solid in Toronto last season for Schmidt Peterson Motorsports, finishing the first event of the double-header weekend in fourth.

Josef Newgarden was third quickest as he looks for his second victory of the season and his first top-10 finish on the streets of Toronto. He was followed by his CFH Racing teammate Luca Filippi, and Sebastien Bourdais. Bourdais won the second event of the weekend last season.

Will Power was sixth quickest, followed by Helio Castroneves, Graham Rahal, Charlie Kimball and Tony Kanaan.
