Nashville: Dixon tops practice 1

Scott Dixon topped the opening practice session for Saturday night's IndyCar race on the dusty and bumpy concrete 1.33-mile Nashville Speedway. A lot of the times were grouped together by team as speed on this 100% throttle track is pretty much governed by car setup. The driver just holds the throttle wide open and turns left.
