AP Top News｜大雨和闪电使得印地500赛的练习赛提前结束，但潘氏车队（Penske）依然表现亮眼

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) Team Penske was fastest on opening day of practice for the Indianapolis 500, a day shortened at the front and back end because of weather.

Will Power and two-time defending Indy 500 winner Josef Newgarden went 1-2 in Chevrolets for Penske in Tuesdays abbreviated session. Cars ran only about three hours, first because of morning rain and then a lightning strike ended the session with about 30 minutes remaining.

Power turned a lap at 227.026 mph around Indianapolis Motor Speedway, while Newgarden went 226.971 mph.

Alex Palou, winner of four of the first five races this season and the current IndyCar points leader, was third fastest for Chip Ganassi Racing. The Honda driver is the two-time reigning IndyCar champion and has won three of the last four series titles. He went 226.673 mph.

He was followed by Ganassi teammate Scott Dixon and then Scott McLaughlin, another Penske driver. Four-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves was sixth fastest for Meyer Shank Racing, and new father Alexander Rossi, who welcomed his first baby last week, was seventh fastest.

The birth of Rossis son was a surprise to many in the industry as he and wife, Kelly, deliberately did not reveal her pregnancy to many people.

Because why would we? he asked. The boy, named Benjamin Kenneth, was born last Wednesday. His first name was the only name they could decide on, and his middle name is after her late father.

Marcus Armstrong of Meyer-Shank was eighth fastest, Marcus Ericsson, a former Indianapolis 500 winner, was ninth, and Marco Andretti, in his only scheduled IndyCar race of the season, was 10th for Andretti Global.

印第安纳波利斯（美联社）——彭斯车队在印第500赛车大赛的首个练习日中表现最快，但由于天气原因，比赛在前后两段都缩短了。

周二缩短的赛程中，威廉·鲍威尔（Will Power）和两届卫冕印第安纳波利斯500英里大赛冠军约瑟夫·纽加德（Josef Newgarden）分别驾驶雪佛兰赛车为潘氏车队获得了1-2的排名。由于早晨的降雨和随后的一次闪电，赛车仅运行了大约三个小时，并在还剩约30分钟时结束。

在印第安纳波利斯赛车场，Power以227.026英里每小时的速度跑完了一圈，而Newgarden的速度为226.971英里每小时。

亚历克斯·帕洛（Alex Palou），本赛季前五场比赛中赢得四场胜利，目前是印地赛车积分榜领头羊，为Chip Ganassi Racing车队跑出了第三快的成绩。这位本田车手是两届卫冕印地赛车冠军，并赢得了过去四届系列赛冠军中的三届。他的时速达到了226.673英里。

他身后紧随其后的分别是甘尼赛车队队友斯科特·迪克森（Scott Dixon）和另一位潘氏车队（Penske）车手斯科特·麦克劳林（Scott McLaughlin）。四次赢得印第安纳波利斯500赛（Indianapolis 500）冠军的赫利欧·卡斯特罗内维斯（Helio Castroneves）在迈耶·尚克车队（Meyer Shank Racing）中位列第六，而上周迎来初为人父的亚历山大·罗西（Alexander Rossi）则位列第七。

罗西（Rossi）儿子的出生在业界引起了许多人的惊讶，因为他和他的妻子凯利（Kelly）故意没有向很多人透露她的怀孕情况。

他问，我们为什么要（选名字）？男孩名叫本杰明·肯尼斯，他于上周三出生。他们只能决定他的名字中的第一个字，而中间的名字则是以他已故的父亲命名的。

迈耶-尚克车队（Meyer-Shank）的马库斯·阿姆斯特朗（Marcus Armstrong）位列第八，前印第安纳波利斯500英里大赛冠军得主马库斯·埃里克森（Marcus Ericsson）位列第九，马可·安德雷蒂（Marco Andretti）在其本赛季唯一一场预定的印地赛车（IndyCar）比赛中为安德雷蒂全球（Andretti Global）获得第十名。
