In order to prepare for the upcoming Grand Prix at The Glen, five IZOD IndyCar Series teams will be working out at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course on June 30th.

The Mid-Ohio circuit will play host to the Honda Indy 200 on August 8th as it will be the fourth in a five-race road/street/airport circuit stretch that commences July 4 at Watkins Glen International.

Vitor Meira (A.J. Foyt Racing), series leader Will Power (Penske) and teammate Helio Castroneves, Alex Lloyd and Milka Duno of Dale Coyne Racing, Raphael Matos (de Ferran Dragon Racing) will all be on hand while newcomer Adam Carroll (Andretti Autosports) will be undergoing his road course rookie test in anticipation of making his series debut at The Glen.

Justin Wilson (Dreyer & Reinbold) is scheduled to get in laps on the 1.5-mile Chicagoland Speedway oval on June 22-23 while Target Chip Ganassi Racing’s Scott Dixon and Dario Franchitti are scheduled to test at Sebring International Raceway on June 28.

Because of the cancellation of the Open Test at Kentucky Speedway on May 4, each full-season entrant has been granted an additional test day on a 1.5-mile oval at their discretion.
