Rain washes out Day 2 of Indy 500 practice
Persistent showers throughout the afternoon have washed out the second day of practice for the 92nd Indianapolis 500.
The official order to close the track was given by IndyCar Series officials just minutes ago after a shower popped up over the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and soaked the 2.5-mile oval.
The track also took a downpour around lunch time, but the course dried enough that by 3 p.m. ET, officials were hoping to open the track around 3:20 p.m. That was before the second wave of rain came along and ended the day outright.
Tomorrow’s forecast doesn’t look much better, as it calls for more rain throughout the day. Weather.com is pegging a 70% chance for the wet stuff, so we may well see a very green race track for “Fast Friday,” the teams’ final chance to test out qualifying setups for Saturday’s run at the pole.
