Full-time entries now have their race engines installed, and for the first time this week, cars were pitting off Turn 4 rather than the achingly long deceleration lane. This caused a couple of issues, JR Hildebrand locking up the front wheels of his AJ Foyt Racing-Chevrolet, on pit entry, Christian Lundgaard locking the rears of his Rahal Letterman Lanigan-Honda, and Takuma Sato having an alarming wriggle in his Dale Coyne Racing with RWR-Honda.
A weirder pitlane incident occurred when Scott McLaughlin spun his Team Penske-Chevrolet as he was leaving his box, but thankfully without making contact with anything solid.
