IndyCar results: 2024 Indianapolis 500 - Fast Friday

Josef Newgarden, Scott McLaughlin and Will Power were the fastest in simulated qualifying runs on Fast Friday.

Reigning Indy 500 winner Newgarden clocked a best time of 234.063 mph.

“You can’t get too excited on a day like today,” Newgarden said. 

"“We’re testing. Everybody’s testing. It counts when it counts, but I think we have fast cars. There’s no doubt. 

"We’ve got to be somewhat pleased at what we’re looking at. This team has worked hard.

“We need to put our pieces together tomorrow. It’s going to be harder tomorrow; it’s going to be even harder on Sunday.”

Colton Herta was fastest overall on a single lap.

“I’m happy with what we were able to do,” Herta said. 

“We seem to be lacking a little bit of speed (for qualifying runs). It’s nice to be quickest, but it doesn’t mean much for qualifying.”
