The NTT IndyCar Series’ first official practice session at the Milwaukee Mile since 2015 was led by Team Penske’s Josef Newgarden, with warm and humid weather conditions prevailing. Newgarden set the pace with a best lap of 158.762mph in the No. 2 Chevy, followed by Scott Dixon and Pato O’Ward in second and third place, respectively. Team Penske showed strong performance overall, with Newgarden, McLaughlin, and Power posting competitive times. The session was hectic, with Newgarden noting that many drivers did not get clear laps due to the traffic on track. Despite the challenges, Newgarden expressed satisfaction with his car’s performance and the team’s efforts in tuning it. The day ended with a crash involving Christian Rasmussen, but fortunately, he emerged unscathed, and his car is expected to be ready for Saturday’s activities.
