Wednesday Practice Schedule: 110th Indianapolis 500 Prep Continues

The preparations for the 110th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge intensify on Wednesday, May 13, as the field returns to the oval for another six hours of critical track time. With the initial shakedowns complete, Wednesday is all about fine-tuning race setups and finding extra speed in traffic.

Whether you are sneaking away from the office for a long lunch or bringing the family out for an afternoon at the Brickyard, the atmosphere at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway remains one of the best deals in sports.
