Will Power tops the timing sheets

While Pato O'Ward had the bragging rights by the end of day one, this soon changed on day two. Team Penske showcased a promising start as Will Power set the timing sheets alive during the morning session on Day 2.

He posted a 52.2549 seconds lap time, six one-hundredths faster than his teammate Josef Newgarden. On the other hand, O'Ward's 52.3470 seconds lap time was only able to clinch the third spot on the timing ladder.

The 43-year-old driver then shared his thoughts on getting behind the wheel of an IndyCar and said (via IndyCar):

"It's funny, after a couple days back in the car, you feel right at home, back to the same old stuff, and going through the same old changes and just confirming stuff. I know it so well now, but it always changes. It's never the same. So, you’ve got to be on your toes, super-tight field."

On the other hand, reigning champion Alex Palou finished a mediocre seventh, while Conor Daly finished posted in a lap time of 52.5746 seconds, which aided him in securing a top-10 spot during the testing.

Daly's impressive performance has come amid speculations surrounding his tenure within the series after his primary sponsor backed off. He then shared the relief of setting in a fast time on the board and said (via IndyCar):

"We were fast all day in our group. So, that's really encouraging. We made a lot of progress with a lot of changes that we wanted to get through. And that's what this testing is for. It's so important. To be fast and at the front, that's our goal every day."

Marcus Armstrong was the only driver during the testing to do the double duty as he filled in for his teammate Felix Rosenqvist during the afternoon session on day one of testing. Helping him put in a massive 163 laps during the testing, the most done by any driver.
