Tony Kanaan Leads Practice for Chevrolet Duel in Detroit

In Friday practice for the Chevrolet Duel in Detroit, it would Tony Kanaan topping the charts with a lap of a minute and 16.2931 seconds.

Kanaan is looking to bounce back after wrecking out of the Indianapolis 500 after his car got loose through the corner after a pit stop. Kanaan had ran up front throughout the event before the incident.

He was followed by rookie teammate Sage Karam, who is also looking for a strong run after wrecking on the opening lap of the Indy 500. Team Penske teammates Will Power, Simon Pagenaud and Helio Castroneves took the next three spots as they enter this weekend with momentum on their side, and the best pre-race statistics.

Stefano Coletti was sixth quickest, followed by Sebastien Bourdais, Scott Dixon, Takuma Sato and Juan Pablo Montoya.

The speeds in practice indicate clear indication that there is a good chance of track record falling this afternoon. Takuma Sato set the track record last year at 1-minute, 16.1371-second.

Following the first four events this year and Chevrolet’s dominance, Honda was forced to chance their aero kit design heading into this weekend in an effort to even the field. However, it seems as those have been to no avail with Chevrolet taking the eight spots in practice.
