David Malukas made headlines with his move to A.J. Foyt Racing and then again by leading the times in the NTT IndyCar Series practice session at World Wide Technology Raceway. Malukas set the pace with a speed of 178.830mph, with Colton Herta following closely behind in second place. Scott McLaughlin and Will Power of Team Penske finished third and fourth, respectively, breaking up the Honda-dominated top five. Current points leader Alex Palou ended the session in fifth place despite a grid penalty for unapproved engine changes. Romain Grosjean and Conor Daly also put in strong performances, finishing sixth and twelfth fastest, respectively. The session was fairly uneventful, with only one caution caused by Linus Lundqvist’s car trouble. The next event is qualifying at 4:20 pm ET.
