SPEEDWAY, Ind. (WOWO) — Cars were back on track at Indianapolis Motor Speedway as Indy 500 Open Test week got underway.

Gates opened at 9 a.m., testing started at 10, and fans were able to get in for free with free parking available as well.

Teams used the day to work on balance, fine-tune setups, and give drivers time on the track. The sessions offered an early read on speed.

Since 2021, every Indy 500 winner had posted top-ten times during the Open Test. The only exception came last year, when rookie Robert Shwartzman won the pole but did not go on to win the race.
