Two-time Indy 500 winner Takuma Sato was the first out on track and hit 232.165mph on his opening lap in the Dale Coyne Racing with RWR-Honda, which dropped to 231.450mph by his fourth and final lap, to set an average of 231.670mph.
The sole Team Penske-Chevrolet representative in the Top 12, 2018 winner Will Power danced up to the Turn 1 wall twice on his run and said afterward the balance of the car wasn’t as good as in yesterday’s qualifying session, and he ended up behind Sato.
