Day two of IndyCar testing at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has concluded and one driver had one of the fastest laps since 2003. Josef Newgarden hit a lap speed of 229 mph yesterday, the fastest lap time since Tony Kanaan hit the same mark in 2003. Newgarden has yet to win an Indy 500, but looks to change that this season. Newgarden leads the early season in points after a win at Texas and Long Beach, being the first multi race winner this season. Other drivers bolstered top speeds as well, including 2008 winner Scott Dixon who had a 228 mph lap. If a Penske driver comes away with a victory this year, it would be a record setting 19 wins for the team. A team Penske driver has won three of the last seven Indy 500s.
