Marco Andretti continued to show good pace on the fourth day of practice at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway by setting the fastest time in his Andretti Autosport Chevrolet-powered DW12.
Andretti's fastest lap reached the average speed of 223.676 mph, finishing ahead of two-time Indy 500 winner Helio Castroneves of the Penske team (222.025 mph) and Andretti Autosport' Canadian James Hinchcliffe (221.864 mph).
Alex Tagliani gave some hope to the Bryan Herta Autosport team after he was able to climb up the time sheet to finish 11th after struggling in the first three days of practice; the team still having to learn the ropes with its new Honda engine.
Meanwhile, Fan Force United's Jean Alesi did not run at all after the team opted to do some work on his Lotus engine.
