It was the biggest day in motorsports, starting with the streets of Monaco, where they have been racing since 1929. Then, to Indianapolis, where they have been logging 500 miles this time of year since 1911. Finally, the long way home, the World 600 at Charlotte for the boys and girl with fenders.
“I’m proud of this Steak ‘n Shake team. We pushed as hard as we could. I keep saying to the guys that the biggest thing is to keep coming home in the points.

Obviously the three guys we are trying to keep up with in the championship all finished ahead of us but still I feel very good about it.'

YOU HAD TO DO THIS HARD WAY TODAY COMING FROM 30TH. “Yeah, it was fun. Our Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet was good all day. These guys at Team Penske did an amazing job. When I came through the field, I knew I had a good car. That fight there at the end… that was awesome.”
“I think the Steak ‘n Shake car is very consistent. I felt extremely good about it off the bat but I think we just need to find a little bit more ultimate pace. It’s going to be a battle but we’ll be okay. We’ve got to look at the drag numbers to figure out the downforce level we want to be at but we feel like we were in the zone and it was off the ultimate pace a little bit.”
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.
