The NTT IndyCar Series held its second practice session on the streets of Long Beach Saturday morning, with the public street course showing a significant buildup of rubber on the racing line. The impacted rubber from IMSA’s Michelin tires made it tricky for drivers to judge grip levels on the 1.97-mile course. Kyle Kirkwood set the pace with a quick lap time of 1:07.5417 on the harder compound tire, showing potential for another Long Beach victory. Mick Schumacher, after missing Friday’s practice, encountered a setback hitting the tire barriers, damaging his front wing and suspension. Qualifying later in the day is anticipated to be an exciting session, with the field converging in pace.
