The Andretti Global star posted the fastest lap of the session at 1:33.5008, edging out the field on the challenging 2.73-mile, 14-turn temporary street course making its INDYCAR debut this weekend.<\/p>\n
Close behind was championship contender Alex Palou in the No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, who clocked a strong 1:33.8085 to secure second place\u2014just 0.3077 seconds off Kirkwood\u2019s benchmark.<\/p>\n
Marcus Armstrong continued his solid early-season form, placing third in the No. 66 Root Insurance Honda with a time of 1:33.9702.<\/p>\n
Andretti Global\u2019s Will Power rounded out the top four in the No. 26 TWG AI Honda (1:34.0226), showing the team\u2019s continued strength on street circuits.<\/p>\n
Power\u2019s teammate Marcus Ericsson completed the top five in the No. 28 InPwr Honda (1:34.0695).<\/p>\n

There were several red flags during the practice sessions.\u00a0 Just 10 minutes into the session for all cars, Scott Dixon spun at Turn 4 and stopped on track.\u00a0 Although he managed to not hit any walls, Will Power came out of the horseshoe and made contact with Dixon at the left rear.\u00a0 Both cars continued on their own back to pit lane.<\/p>\n
Towards the end of all cars session, Josef Newgarden, winner of last week\u2019s race in Phoenix, made contact with the barrier in Turn 2, which checkered the session. Newgarden was seen and released from the INDYCAR Medical unit.<\/p>\n
The American\u2019s car sustained enough damage that he will be qualifying later this afternoon in his No 2 PPG Chevrolet backup car.<\/p>\n
Session 2 was red flagged just after it started because there was a catering cart coming across the track.<\/p>\n
During the Group A session, Marcus Armstrong spun and stopped on course in Turn 14.\u00a0 The New Zealander still posted the third fastest time of the combined sessions.<\/p>\n
This afternoon, the Firestone Fast Six Qualifying is scheduled for 1:30 pm CT.\u00a0 There will be a twist to the final Fast Six session today.\u00a0 Each driver will have one lap to set the final grid but will be on track individually.<\/p>\n
