During the 75-minute session, only one hour was available for setting the lap times due to three separate red flags that interrupted the running. Colton Herta managed to clock the fastest time of 1:09.2863 with his Andretti Global Honda, which was almost a second quicker than last year’s pole time. Agustin Canapino impressed with the second fastest time, setting himself up for a potentially stellar IndyCar weekend. Will Power came in third but led the timesheets for a significant portion of the session. Luca Ghiotto, in his second IndyCar weekend, completed the most laps but finished 24th overall. The morning session was marred by multiple red flags, mechanical issues, and engine failures, with drivers needing quick fixes before the next round of practice and qualifying.
