The NTT IndyCar Series conducted a productive morning practice session at the historic Milwaukee Mile on Saturday.

Team Penske showcased strong performance, with all three drivers ranking in the top eight on the time sheets. Reigning champion Alex Palou secured the second-best time, followed by Conor Daly in third. Drivers approached the practice cautiously to avoid vehicle damage before the quick turnaround for qualifying. Despite a few instances of oversteer, no major incidents occurred during the practice, except for a brief track inspection. The Milwaukee Mile track, previously affected by flooding, was deemed safe for the race weekend, with qualifying scheduled at 1:00 PM central time to determine the starting grid for Sunday’s race. Louis Foster faced engine issues, requiring a new Honda engine and resulting in a grid penalty for the upcoming race.
