Dreyer and Reinbold Racing with Cusick Motorsports had a solid opening practice day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Tuesday.
Jack Harvey in the No.24 INVST Chevrolet ended the day in 13th place with a speed of 222.822MPH.
Jack Harvey, No. 24 DRR CUSICK INVST:
“Any day that we get to run at IMS is good day. I think we got in more running than I would have expected. It’s always an Indy thing. It’s going to rain and then we get in many more laps thsan expected. From want we had at the test a few weeks ago to now, it was definitely an improvement. We know there are areas that we need to make some gains. Ryan (Hunter-Reay, teammate) and I have similar issues with the car right now. We can divide and conquer for the rest of the week. Later in the day, the wind made a pivot a bit in the corners. Actually, I don’t mind practicing in hotter conditions because we know it will be hotter for the race. Overall, I think we are in a pretty good window if you can make a few more improvements.
Ryan Hunter-Reay, No.23 DRR CUSICK WEDBUSH SECURITIES ended the day in 14th and speaking following the action he said:
“We went through a lot of stuff today and got in a good number of laps. It was super important for us to get through a checklist of items today. We wanted to get a direction to set us up for later in the week. Mission accomplished there but there were a few more things later in the day we wanted to try. But weather was an issue today. Hopefully, less of that as the week moves on. All in all, we got some answers today and we have a few to be answered in the next few days.”
