Sato leads morning warmup in St. Pete

AJ Foyt driver Takuma Sato turned the fastest lap in morning warmup for today's Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg. There were 3 Hondas in the top-5 so it appears the Hondas will be closer to the Chevys in race trim. There were a couple of incidents. One saw Juan Montoya hit the tires, another saw Spencer Pigot make an evasive maneuver and go down a runoff area.
