This guarantees there will be a Bump Day in the qualifying weekend before the race, as traditionally just 33 cars start the Indianapolis 500. Abel will be on the back foot since all its rivals took part in yesterday’s open test at the Speedway (today’s activities have been canceled by rain), with all Rookies and Refreshers passing all phases.
Abel is expected to turn its first laps at the Speedway on May 16th, when practice for the Indy 500 begins, and Enerson will be allowed to run his Refresher course which comprises 15 laps at 210-215mph and 15 laps at 215mph-plus.
