The Rain Can't Stop Newgarden's Indy 500 Mastery
Matches may be decided on the field, but legends are made during practice. Josef Newgarden, fresh off his Indy 500 triumph last year, hit the track hard, topping the speed charts at an adrenaline-pumping 228.811 mph! Despite the skies opening up and stopping play early, Newgarden showed his might, tying a track record on the way. Could this spell another victory for the two-time IndyCar champ?
New Kid on the Block, Larson Making Moves!
Keep your eyes peeled, racing fans! Kyle Larson, the NASCAR powerhouse, wants a piece of Indy 500 history. Securing second place on the day, Larson's not playing around with a speed of 226.384 mph. With Arrow McLaren and Hendrick Motorsports in his corner, heโs looking to join the elite club of drivers to conquer both the Indy 500 and Coke 600 on the same day. The rook might just be the talk of the town!
"We're not just here for a good time; we're here to check things off our list," says Newgarden, with a grin that could only mean confidence. Scott Dixon and Alex Palou aren't far behind, hunting down those top spots.
Stay tuned - the rubber will burn again from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday, and we're all about that full-throttle coverage!
Reign On, Newgarden! ๐
Just when we thought Josef Newgarden couldn't get any cooler after clinching his first Indy 500 last year, the speed demon topped the charts again on the first day of testing for the 108th race. The gods of weather played spoilsport with a rain delay, but that didn't stop our main man from clocking a scorching 228.811 mph lap. Is this deja vu or what?
Kyle Larson's in the Mix
Watch out folks, Kyle Larson is hot on Newgarden's heels, proving NASCAR champs can tear up the Indy track too. With a swift 226.384 mph, he's definitely in the running (and it's only his rookie practice sessions!). Could he be the next double-duty legend?
The Chase Pack
It's not just a two-horse race though. Scott Dixon, the six-time champ, isn't far behind, with Alex Palou and Colton Herta all gunning for glory. Stay tuned for more rubber-burning action as testing resumes. Think Newgarden can keep the lead? Hit us with your thoughts below.
