INDIANAPOLIS — Steady rain and temperatures in the 40s have led NTT IndyCar Series officials to cancel today’s second day of the Indianapolis 500 Open Test.
IndyCar made the announcement at 9:15 a.m. (ET) and have ruled the Open Test complete, so teams can clear out of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and return to their shops.
During the first day on Thursday, 33 drivers combined to turn a total of 3,522 laps in sessions that featured extended hours in anticipation of weather Friday.
Teams will return to IMS on Friday, May 12, for practice and qualifying ahead of the GMR Grand Prix on Saturday, May 13, on the IMS road course. Practice for the 107th running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge is scheduled to begin Tuesday, May 16, with the race scheduled for Sunday, May 28.
