Kyle Larson was able to showcase pace while continuing preparations for the 108th running of the Indianapolis 500 with Wednesday’s Open Test session.
Despite a rain-shortened day, Larson was still able to complete 47 laps – with 43 logged in the morning’s two-hour session – around the 2.5-mile superspeedway. In the end, he was able to put down a best lap of 226.384 mph to vault the No. 17 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet to second on the overall leaderboard among 34 drivers. “Yeah, it was a good day,” said Larson, the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion.
“It was so sensitive that, again, I don't even know if that's real, but I would assume that's more real than me not feeling a balance change in traffic. But yeah, that's why it's just kind of hard to learn right now when the conditions are like this, and the packs are smaller and all that. There's still a lot left to learn. But that's what I felt in those couple runs.
