Kanaan fastest in opening IndyCar practice at Pocono

Tony Kanaan, who has struggled a bit this year appears to be back on track as he turned the fastest lap in opening practice for the Pocono 500 at 221.344 mph in very windy and tricky conditions.

Andretti teammates Ryan Hunter-Reay, Marco Andretti and James Hinchcliffe were 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Marco lead Ryan most of the session but dropped to third at the end. We saw a lot of drafting going on out there so we don't really know who is fastest.

Marco Andretti was easily the fastest car last year but poor fuel mileage was his undoing.
