“At the moment we’re happy,” admitted Rob Edwards, the race strategist on Herta’s car, “but we still have some things to work through to make sure we are ready for race day.”The sun was shining and temperatures approached 90 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of practice Monday, which translated to a track temp of more than 123 degrees.
The first practice following qualifying, when Scott McLaughlin set a four-lap record to put Penske on the pole, went off largely without a hitch Monday — unlike last year, when Stefan Wilson and Katherine Legge were involved in a massive wreck.on Sunday night, spent time running in traffic while also fine-tuning how to get into his pit stall. Several other rookies also turned a lot of laps, including Tom Blomqvist, who logged the most of the field with 106 in his car from Meyer Shank Racing.
Then there was the trio of Team Penske cars, who swept the front row in qualifying. Newgarden had the fastest single lap on Monday, but Will Power wasn’t far off with the third-quickest lap and McLaughlin looked like a formidable pole sitter.
