FAST FRIDAY NOTES/QUOTES – May 20, 2022
WIND GUSTS LIMITED RUNNING FOR FAST FRIDAY; RAHAL, LUNDGAARD AND HARVEY MADE A FEW RUNS LATE IN THE DAY
1) Takuma Sato 232.789 mph 24 laps
24) Graham Rahal 226.819 mph 12 laps

GRAHAM RAHAL, No. 15 United Rentals Dallara/Honda/Firestone: “Just a super windy day, very tough day. We didn’t go out until late in the day but even then, it was obviously a little windier but even having said that, there were a lot of guys that could do really good lap times. We are quite a ways off. Balance was very, very tricky there in the qual sims, so we have to put our heads down tonight and figure it out for sure.”
CHRISTIAN LUNDGAARD, No. 30 PeopleReady Dallara/Honda/Firestone: “It was a windy day, we didn’t do much running. We did one run at the end of the day. At the beginning of the day, what was the point of running? Looking back we probably should have run earlier in the day, but it’s easy to come back and say that afterwards. We know the conditions won’t be the exact same tomorrow so not to worry.”
JACK HARVEY, 45 Hy-Vee Dallara/Honda/Firestone: “To be honest, I normally look forward to Fast Friday and the conditions weren’t very good today for sure. Honestly, all I could feel out there was the wind. I don’t have a ton of confidence in the car right now but I’m not sure due to the wind.”
NEXT UP: Qualifying will begin at 11:00 AM ET and be televised on NBC and Peacock. Get a behind-the-scenes look at preparations for the 106th Indianapolis 500 via the Digital Ally Garage Camera on www.rahal.com.
