Daly again fastest in opening Day 2 session at IMS

Ed Carpenter Racing’s #47 Chevy of Conor Daly was again the fastest ‘veterans’ Friday morning during Day 2 of IndyCar testing at IMS. Daly’s lap of 224.790mph was marginally faster than Scott Dixon in the #9 Ganassi Honda at 224.740mph.

Dixon’s teammate Alex Palou was third quick while Simon Pagenaud and Ed Carpenter rounded out the top-5.

The fastest no-tow lap, however, was by Graham Rahal at 222.968 mph ahead of Will Power at 220.405 mph and Jack Harvey at 219.881 mph.

It is the no-tow speeds that really tell us the true speed of the car on its own, but we do not know how much fuel each driver was carrying.
