SPEEDWAY, Ind. (May 15, 2024) – Indy 500 Practice Daily Report

ED CARPENTER, No. 20 GuyCare Chevrolet: “Today wasn’t a full day, but after an abbreviated open test and short day yesterday, it felt like a full day of running. Today went well and we were quite strong, before the conditions changed towards the end of the day. We are in a decent spot and happy with what we learned today. Looking forward to carrying on the program and hopefully the weather cooperates tomorrow.”

RINUS VEEKAY, No. 21 askROI Chevrolet: “It is nice to finally get some decent running in today. The first day is all about building confidence and getting the car into a window where you can follow close. We did that today and feel good after running a full stint on a set of tires. There is still time to gain and confidence to build, but I am in a happy place to finish our first official day of running. Onto tomorrow!”

CHRISTIAN RASMUSSEN, No. 33 Chevrolet: “Today has been a learning process, but it’s been good. We made great strides and I am feeling more comfortable. We spent most of the day peeling out downforce and it was like we couldn’t do it quickly enough, which is a good sign. I feel good and a lot better having half a day under my belt. I am feeling confident and I can’t wait to get into tomorrow!”
