IndyCar: Herta over Rossi & Dixon in Practice 2

Posted by AR1 staff

Driving the #26 Gainbridge Honda, Colton Herta again dominated the 2nd practice session for the Music City GP on the streets of Nashville Saturday afternoon.

Herta’s lap of 1m15.3529s was enough to school his Andretti Autosport teammate Alexander Rossi and the two Ganassi Honda’s of Scott Dixon and Alex Palou. All three were about 1/2 sec. behind.

Sebastien Bourdais was the fastest Chevy in 5th, 0.66s behind

Alexander Rossi thoroughly schooled by his teammate in equal equipment

Rossi, trying to catch his faster teammate, ran out of talent and took off his front wing.
