Is it May yet? The Indianapolis 500 is just over a month away and Wednesday was the first day of open testing as drivers and teams prepare for the Greatest Spectacle in Racing. Scott Dixon turned in the best lap of the day with a speed of 227.187 mph. Conor Daly was second fastest overall behind Dixon with a speed of 226.985 in the No. 23 car. The session started after a 90 minute delay due to morning rain around Indianapolis Motor Speedway and officials stopped the session 30 minutes early to inspect the acceleration lane inside turns 1 and 2. A handful of drivers spun in turns 1 and 2 including three Indy 500 winners. Alexander Rossi, Will Power and defending champion Helio Castroneves all had issues in that section of the track on the first open test day as the 106th running of the race inches closer on Sunday, May 29.
