Busy Day at the Speedway Finds Marco on Top
Written by Allan Brewer · May 6, 2008
Marco Andretti topped 226 miles per hour to lead the field on the first day of open practice for the 2008 Indianapolis 500.
Twenty year-old Andretti’s speed came benefit of a tow from rookie Graham Rahal, and bested last year’s pole speed of Helio Castroneves.
