Track Action resumes under cloudy cool conditions

The fourth day of practice for the 94th Indy 500 has kicked off and several drivers are seeking valuable date and practice time. The day started off with a light drizzle, left over from a days worth of showers on Monday.

The temperature is in the high 50’s, and is expected to stay that way until early tomorrow morning when temperatures should reach the high 60’s. Wednesday and Thursday look very good with little to no chance of rain. Friday looks like thunderstorms might sweep through the area.

Qualification weekend could be the best weather the track has seen all month, with temperatures expected in the mid 80’s and no rain in the forecast.

Several cars have taken to the track with the top 10 listed below from about two and half hours worth of practice.
