Penske Racing’s Helio Castroneves was the fastest man on track on the final day of testing at Barber Motorsports Park for the upcoming IndyCar season edging teammate Will Power by barely 0.0202 second.
Power was the fastest driver on Monday and was looking forward to Tuesday but overnight rain forced a change in scheduling to allow for both sessions to take place on a dry track.
Scott Dixon (Ganassi) ended up grabbing third spot in front of Ryan Briscoe (Penske) who was fourth on combined times. Oriol Servia (Newman-Haas) completed the top 5.
Reigning series’ champion Dario Franchitti (team Ganassi) had a difficult day only managing 11th.
Canadian James Hinchcliffe was once again up to pace in the second Newman-Haas Racing car setting the seventh fastest time.
“We didn’t quite get as much time as we’d have liked from the afternoon, I think we could have gone a bit faster.”
