Indy 500: McLaughlin tops second day of practice at 229.493mph before deluge

Although the session was altered to start earlier at 10am ET (originally 12pm), the weather that also impacted Tuesday’s opening day hung around at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway overnight and delayed any running until 3:05pm ET.

There was a frantic bout of action among the 34 cars once the session finally went green. Roughly 40 minutes into the running, McLaughlin’s No. 3 Team Penske Chevrolet caught a good tow and went up to the top of the leaderboard with a quick lap of 229.493mph.
