INDIANAPOLIS -- Kyle Larson and Brian Vickers split leaderboard honors in a pair of practice sessions Friday for the NASCAR Nationwide Series at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Larson, driving the No. 32 Turner Scott Motorsports Chevrolet, clocked a fast lap of 177.294 mph around the historic 2.5-mile track with about three minutes left in the opening 90-minute session. Vickers, piloting the No. 20 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota, was just a tick faster in the final practice with a best lap at 177.855 mph.


Wouldn't it have been cool to see this kid in an indy car back in the day when the good ones went there out of USAC instead of to Napcar? I think he would have been one of the greats of the speedway.

First time he sees the joint and he turns fast time. This kid is really special.

I just hope he's able to back it up in qualifying...definitely a place you don't want to have to come through the field in 100 laps or less

This is the one question I would like to pose to ole Chip or Roger , if I ever got the chance to do so
