In the pair of practices ahead of qualifying for the MAV TV 500 at Auto Club Speedway, it’d be Ryan Briscoe and Scott Dixon topping the pair of sessions.
Briscoe topped the first practice with a lap of 33.1109 seconds as he continues to fill-in for the injured James Hinchcliffe with Schmidt Peterson Motorsports.
Marco Andretti was second quickest as surprisingly, Honda swept the top-two spots despite the fact that Chevrolet has dominated thus far this season. Simon Pagenaud was third quickest, followed by Charlie Kimball and Tony Kanaan.
Josef Newgarden was sixth quickest, followed by Carlos Munoz, Scott Dixon, Juan Pablo Montoya and Takuma Sato.
Dixon was quickest in the second practice with a lap of 33.0839 seconds as he looks for his third straight top-10 following a victory at Texas Motor Speedway and an eighth place finish at the Honda Indy Toronto.
Pagenaud was second quickest, followed by Ed Carpenter, Sato and Montoya. Andretti was sixth, followed by Briscoe, Sage Karam, Kanaan and Tony Hawksworth.
