IndyCar: Herta again on top in Mid-Ohio Practice 3
Herta leads Bourdais |
Rookie Colton Herta's HSR Honda was again on top when the third practice session ended for the Honda 200 at Mid-Ohio Saturday morning.
Herta's lap of 1m05.705s was the fastest of the weekend so far and was enough to pip Spencer Pigot's Chevy by just 0.0577s.
Alexander Rossi recovered from a lackluster Friday to go third quick 0.1699s behind Herta in his Andretti Honda.
James Hinchcliffe and rookie Santino Ferrucci rounded out the top-5, both in Hondas.
