Indy 500 Tidbits
Andretti Green Racing and its drivers Michael Andretti, Marco Andretti, Tony Kanaan, Dario Franchitti and Danica Patrick have chosen not to practice today due to the conditions at the Speedway.
TONY KANAAN (No. 11 Team 7-Eleven Dallara/Honda/Firestone): "We looked at the weather forecast, and obviously with it being so cold, it wasn't going to be beneficial to run today. The temperature and weather looks much better (Friday), Saturday and Sunday, and we expect it will be closer to the weather on Race Day. So we decided not to run today."
A total of 46 cars are at the Speedway. Forty-two have passed technical inspection. Thirty-three drivers have been on the track to date, turning 795 practice laps today and 8,095 laps this month. Jaques Lazier turned 70 laps today, most of any driver. Vitor Meira has turned 426 laps this month, most of any driver. A total of 100 IndyCar Series and Indy Pro Series drivers have passed physical examinations at the Clarian Medical Center. There were three cautions today for a total of 35 minutes.
