Carb Day was also a bit more aggressive than Monday, with many drivers going three-cars wide and taking things a little deeper into the turns than they had. Takuma Sato and Scott Dixon led a Chip Ganassi Racing 1-2, and Power was third quickest to go along with his fastest time out of Monday's practice. Speeds out of Friday's Carb Day, the traditional final practice for the Indy 500, had the usual suspects again at the top of the speed charts. Location: 2.5-mile (4.02-kilometer), four-turn Indianapolis Motor Speedway."It would be ridiculous to have enough downforce for everyone to pass, but the one thing there is, there's tire deg, so I think that will create good racing in the pack." "It's the closest I've ever been able to run to a car at this place without an issue. "It's not big draggy wicker on the wing or anything," said Team Penske's Will Power in a media conference after he set the fastest time in Monday's practice. (Wickers, for those not familiar, can add downforce by increasing pressure on the pressure side of a wing, and decreasing pressure on the suction side.) In addition, Ind圜ar talked tire partner Bridgestone/Firestone into bringing a tire that also has a slightly higher degradation factor than previous variants of their tires, which are usually known for staying grippy far longer than expected. So for 2023, and the Indy 500 specifically, there is a new aero package that includes mandatory stability wickers, 3-degrees of more adjustability for the rear wing, an underwing flap wicker and optional underwing inner bargeboards. But they also didn't want to make the racing easier - or too easy - because over the course of 500 miles it's still the supposed to be Brickyard, after all, and it's not supposed to be easy.

From the time the checkered flag waved at the 2022 edition of the Indianapolis 500 to now, the Ind圜ar Series took to examining what it could do to make the oval-track racing package better, which usually means faster, closer and more exciting.
