Quote
Scott Dixon (Chip Ganassi Racing Honda) Fastest in opening practice: 'Unfortunately today we just ran into weather. It's nice to come in here and be fastest, but it's 'early days' on the weekend and we really haven't gotten started. The PNC Bank car feels decent right out of the gate, and I hope we can get some additional track time tomorrow from INDYCAR to help with dialing in the cars for qualifying and the race.'
