Conor Daly fastest as rain halts IndyCar testing at IMS
Conor Daly led his team owner Ed Carpenter 222.714mph vs 221.296 mph when a light rain hit the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Thursday around 12:15pm ET bringing out the yellow flag after a little over 1 hour of IndyCar testing.
Daly and Carpenter were in Chevy powered cars. The fastest Honda so-far was Scott Dixon in the #9 Ganassi Honda at 220.575mph.
Arrow McLaren Chevy teammates Felix Rosenqvist and Pato O’Ward round out the top-5 so far.
As reported earlier, the only crash was Rinus Veekay when he hit the Turn 1 wall early in the session.
The forecast shows the rain should end by 1:15pm, but then the track will have to be dried.
