Will Power
No. 26 TWG AI Honda
P26
| Top Speed | 222.946 MPH |
“I think that the No. 26 TWG AI Honda is strong. Today was focused on figuring out how the car runs while we’re deep in traffic, since that’s where we’ll be starting the race on Sunday. But overall, we’re feeling good and just trying not to make any mistakes. That’s all that we can do at this point.”
Kyle Kirkwood
No. 27 Sam’s Club Honda
P7
| Top Speed | 225.917 MPH |
“It was a good Carb Day and final practice for us. Today was really more of a sanity check than anything else. I haven’t been in the car for a few days, so it was about making sure the Sam’s Club Honda was still just as good as she was before. We had a few things we wanted to get through, and today was our last chance to do that. We know we’ve got a really strong race car for Sunday.”
Marcus Ericsson
No. 28 Phoenix Investors Honda
P15
| Top Speed | 224.896 MPH |
“Carb Day practice felt really good for us. We kept building on the positive momentum from Monday and worked through a few small adjustments on the car. The No. 28 Phoenix Investors Honda is in a really good window right now. I’m really happy with the balance, and we felt strong in traffic and were able to make a lot of overtakes during the session. It definitely gives us a lot of confidence heading into Sunday.”
Ron Ruzewski
INDYCAR Team Principal
“It’s good to get through Carburetion Day. We made some good changes to all of our cars, and it seems like the preparation that has been done this week has put us on the right track. Looks like we’ll be in a good spot for race day.”
