Andretti Autosport frontrunner Marco Andretti was the fastest amongst the 24 drivers that took part in the open IndyCar test at Pocono that will host the series next event this coming week-end.
Andretti had his best lap clocked at 220.963mph lap during the afternoon while Indianapolis 500 winner and Triple Crown contender Tony Kanaan (KV Racing) was second-fastest ahead of points leader Helio Castroneves (Team Penske).
IndyCar officials made a late change to its aero specification for the weekend, with the teams now having the option to run an underwing strake to create more downforce. Firestone, meanwhile, used the day to test solutions to track-specific tyre wear problems that were detected last week. Cars will now run Indianapolis-spec tyres on the left of the car, and more durable Texas-spec tyres on the right side for Sunday's race. Pos Driver Team/Engine Time Gap 1.
