NASCAR Cup Series star Kyle Larson in the No.17 HendrickCars.com Arrow McLaren Chevrolet starts Sunday’s Greatest Spectacle In Racing from 19th place and said that he feels good following Carb Day.

“That’s the last little bit right before race day. Happy we got her her dialed in a little bit better and I think we’ve got a package we can work with, so we’ll see what Sunday has in store.”
Nolan Siegel in the No.6 NTT DATA Chevrolet who starts the Indy 500 from 24th place, ended Friday in 23rd place and speaking following the action he commented saying:
“We made progress. We started out quite unhappy and then got back to our happy window from Monday by the end, so I think we’re in a good spot for race day. We know what we have. We have a solid race car, did some pit stops at the end and we’re good to go. Really looking forward to Sunday, and I think we’re in a very comfortable, happy window right now.”
Christian Lundgaard ended the day in 20th place and speaking following the action he said:
“Today was a very similar session to Monday. I felt like we weren’t really comfortable in the beginning, but as it went on, we got more and more comfortable. We were closer to what the No. 5 and 17 cars were running by the middle of the session and it just turned our day completely around. We made some subtle changes that just turned everything upside down, and it’s really the first time we drove with these practical conditions. Not knowing what the car needed, we were a little bit on the back foot there. It’s always good to finish the last practice session on a better hand going into to the race. At the moment, I think we, we feel pretty good.”
