The NTT IndyCar Series arrived at Indianapolis Motor Speedway to start testing for The Greatest Spectacle in Racing on Wednesday but only got one full day. On Thursday morning, IndyCar announced that it has canceled the second day of Indianapolis 500 testing due to inclement weather in the forecast.
IndyCar’s second day of testing will not be made up at a later date, as the series now heads to the Streets of Long Beach for its next race on April 21. On the first day of testing, Josef Newgarden, the defending Indianapolis 500 winner, topped the board with Arrow McLaren Racing driver Kyle Larson in second place after an impressive lap.

The lap made its rounds on social media and the paddock, as Larson’s attempt of “The Double” on May 26 is off to a great start. However, due to the weather, the Hendrick Motorsports driver is losing out on critical track time. The Indianapolis 500 is the sport’s big event, but the Long Beach race weekend is next in roughly one week.
