The third practice day for the 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500 kicked off with Team Principal Tony Kanaan's refresher session, which had been delayed by two days due to rain. The 2013 Indianapolis 500 winner had little issue completing the session, and Tony is now eligible to replace Kyle Larson in the No. 17 HendrickCars.com Arrow McLaren Chevrolet if the NASCAR Cup Champion has to leave for Charlotte before the start of the race in Indy.

For the four drivers expected to start the race for Arrow McLaren, it was another successful day of practice. Now, all attention turns to Fast Friday and preparation for Qualifying this weekend.

Coverage of Fast Friday begins tomorrow at noon EDT on FS2.

“There are two different beasts you're trying to make go fast, to be honest with you. Just because you have a good car in traffic doesn't mean you're going to have a good Qualifying car, and vice versa. I've done no Qualifying stuff because the car changes a lot with the boost. It could feel good today trimming wise but then tomorrow you put the boost on and it's like, "What the hell happened to the car?" We had a read at the Open Test that I was somewhat happy with, so tomorrow we'll see what we've got once the boost comes on. In traffic, I think we've gotten better, but there's still a handful of other cars that I believe are a lot stronger than we are. There's still work to do. ”

“Practice went pretty good today. I thought our car was a little bit more competitive in dirty air, so I'm happy with that.”

“Today was thankfully a good day. It was interesting running on the hotter track and seeing what that does to the car. I think tomorrow will definitely be different with colder weather and potentially more wind. We're just trying to dial in the race car, verifying things that were good early in the week, and we're moving around some things. We're finding good items and applying them to see what works further down the road. I think where we are now is a pretty good spot. I'm looking forward for this weekend.”

“We worked into traffic, and I think we made a lot of progress there. I'm very comfortable there. Now we're shifting focus to Qualifying, and hopefully we have a good Fast Friday. I'm looking forward to more boost and more speed. I think the car will continue to be comfortable. The team is making good changes, and I have no doubt we're going to have a fast race car. I'm excited to show what we have."

Tony Kanaan, Team Principal

"It was a pretty special day. I don't think you can ever take driving an INDYCAR for granted, let alone at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. There's a lot of memories, small things here and there that people don't usually realize. My entire career, Kyle Sagan always buckled my belt, and today he surprised me to do it again. This is just this place, right? My first radio to the crew was that I definitely have the best and coolest job in the world. It's done now, and I'm feeling amazing, so back to my real job."
