32 drivers out of 33 made some laps before the skies opened up on the corner of 16th St and Georgetown Road in Speedway, IN. Carburetion Day, a/k/a final practice for the 92nd Indianapolis 500, was shortened thanks to a rain shower. Dan Wheldon and polesitter Scott Dixon from Ganassi Racing turned the fastest laps...with the 2005 winner stopping the clock at 223.934 miles an hour. Dixon had a 223 mile an hour tour. Tom Wurtz from Team Penske will have to give some TLC to Ryan Briscoe's Penske Racing machine...the number 3 starter didn't get a chance to make any laps, so the team manager will have to rely on that "attention to detail" to make sure all the nuts are tightened, belts tensioned, and every item on the pre-race list gone over twice on the #6 Penske Racing Dallara.
We'll see what we can find out in the garages early Sunday morning.
