ARROW McLAREN 110TH INDIANAPOLIS 500 DAY 4 PRACTICE REPORT

"We'll just need to go out there and execute"

The last practice ahead of Qualifying - popularly known as Fast Friday - saw increased speeds as teams were allowed to increase the turbocharger boost.

After a two-hour rain delay, all four Arrow McLaren Chevrolets hit the track amid cooler temperatures for Qualifying simulation runs with both Pato and Nolan finishing in the top 10 on the speed chart.

Pato, Nolan, Christian and Ryan return to the track again Saturday morning for the first day of Qualifying for the 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500, which begins at 11:00 a.m. ET on FS2.
