IndyCar: Friday Morning Update from Fast Friday

Good morning as the sun rises over the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway.   The weather may not be so good today, with the temperature reaching 80 degrees with thunderstorms predicted for early afternoon.  It may put a damper on the fast speeds we expect to see today.

Today is Fast Friday, so that means the engines will have more boost for the weekend starting today.  The approximately 50 extra horsepower should bring the speeds up to over 230 MPH.  The qualifying record for the Indy 500 is 236.986, set by Arie Luyendyk in 1996.

Practice is from Noon to 6 pm today and can be watched on Peacock.
