E.J. Viso was warned about Indy’s tricky turns but had no trouble adapting in his HVM Racing Dallara-Honda.
“I heard from some other drivers how difficult and scary the track is but I didn’t think it was too bad,” said Viso, who was second fastest at 220.445 mph. “For sure, the speeds are higher and it’s quite a long lap but it’s nice we get so much time to prepare.
“It’s going to be much better than my first two ovals because it seemed like we got very little practice.”
The last time Justin Wilson ran Indy, Turn 1 was actually the last corner of the United States Grand Prix, where he finshed eighth in 2003.
Alex Lloyd, the defending IPS champion who Chip Ganassi has farmed out to Rahal Letterman this month, quickly reached 219 mph as did Hideki Mutoh and Ryan Hunter-Reay.
Jamie Camara and Jay Howard were the other drivers completing all four phases of their test, while Enrique Bernoldi and Mario Moraes expect to get theirs finished Monday.
