In a thrilling turn of events at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Alex Palou showcased his dominance on Day 2 of Indy 500 practice, leaving his competitors in the dust. Despite the persistent rain causing interruptions, Palou managed to steal the show with a top speed of 227.546mph, outshining Will Power’s previous record.
The practice session was not without its drama, as veteran driver Tony Kanaan’s refresher test had to be pushed to Thursday due to the inclement weather. However, once the action resumed, it was Palou who reigned supreme, with Power and Newgarden closely following behind in second and third place, respectively.
But not everyone had a smooth ride during practice. Santino Ferrucci expressed his frustration with his car’s performance, landing in 33rd place overall. On the other end of the spectrum, Kyle Kirkwood continued to impress by topping the speed charts for no-tow speeds.
As the day concluded, it was clear that Palou was a force to be reckoned with, setting the stage for an exciting Indy 500 race ahead. With no on-track incidents and Palou’s stellar performance, the competition is heating up, and fans can expect nothing short of adrenaline-pumping action come race day.
