Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda’s championship leader Marcus Ericsson, was the first driver to duck under 68sec barrier with a 67.9714sec on a set of primary Firestones, an average of 119.591mph around the 2.258-mile course.
That left him 0.0407sec ahead of the time set by Josef Newgarden with alternate compound Firestones on his Team Penske-Chevrolet. This pair will start alongside each other on the seventh row.
It was a very busy session, with at least 20 of the 27 cars on track at all times, as most drivers used the warm-up to check out the characteristics and durability of both compounds of tires.
With 12 of the 30 minutes left on the clock, Juncos Hollinger Racing-Chevy’s Callum Ilott delivered a 68.09sec lap to go third fastest, three tenths ahead of Rinus VeeKay of Ed Carpenter Racing-Chevy.
Then with four minutes to go, Alex Palou, who will start seventh, edged ahead of teammate Ericsson by 0.0065sec on alternates, before being usurped by David Malukas of Dale Coyne Racing with HMD Motorsports-Honda, who averaged 120.051mph to top the session by a quarter second.
Scott McLaughlin of Penske moved up to sixth fastest in the closing stages, ahead of Colton Herta who was fastest of the Andretti Autosport-Hondas and moved ahead of Rinus VeeKay.
The drivers will get the command to start engines for the Honda Indy 200 at 12.45pm local (Eastern) time.
