CARB DAY NOTES/QUOTES – Friday, May 22, 2015
RAHAL AND SERVIA COMPLETED FINAL CARB DAY PRACTICE IN PREPARATION FOR SUNDAY’S INDY 500
1) Will Power 229.020 mph 46 laps
13) Oriol Servia 226.212 mph 41 laps
22) Graham Rahal 225.288 mph 45 laps
GRAHAM RAHAL, No. 15 Steak ‘n Shake Dallara/Honda/Firestone: “I think the Steak ‘n Shake car is very consistent. I felt extremely good about it off the bat but I think we just need to find a little bit more ultimate pace. It’s going to be a battle but we’ll be okay. We’ve got to look at the drag numbers to figure out the downforce level we want to be at but we feel like we were in the zone and it was off the ultimate pace a little bit.”
ORIOL SERVIA, No. 32 Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing Dallara/Honda/Firestone: “I feel I have the car that has felt the best in all of my 500’s so far so I’m pretty happy. The last practice is the one that you really want to feel how the car is compared to the others and in traffic. And it’s hard to judge who is on what tires, at what point but I think we have something to play with definitely. There are two or three guys that I feel are definitely in their own class – Power, Dixon and Kanaan – but again it’s a 500 mile race and you have to make sure you are in contention at the end and I’m pretty happy.”
NEXT UP: The 99th running of the Indianapolis 500 will take the Green Flag at 12:12 p.m. ET on Sunday, May 24. ABC will broadcast the event from 11-3:30 p.m. ET.
