Red flag

Hartley recorded the fastest time of the day this afternoon on a 3m21.061s, while Jani's morning best of 3m21.945s stands as the second best time.

IndyCar - Detroit: Pagenaud is now on provisional pole at 1m36.9251s, and Munoz has also beaten Montoya's time to move up to second-fastest. Further back, Gonzalez has improved his time by 3.5s. He still needs to find another 2.0s to move up a spot, though.

IndyCar - Detroit: The series has sent a handful of IndyCars out to do a low-speed track inspection, presumably to hunt for standing water. This place doesn't tend to drain all that well, although efforts have been made to improve that ahead of this year's event.
