The two-time champion, still seeking an Indy 500 win, lapped the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway at 227.686mph, 0.9mph ahead of 2008 Indy winner Scott Dixon.
That’s the way it remained until very late in the session, on the 114th of 119 laps, Conor Daly sprung into the 227s, laying down a 227.466mph lap in his Ed Carpenter Racing entry.
