MONTEREY, Calif. — Christian Lundgaard of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing was the fastest driver in Saturday morning’s IndyCar practice session for Sunday’s Firestone Grand Prix of Monterey. Pato O’Ward spun going into turn four, slid through the gravel, and hit the tire barriers 9 minutes into the session to bring out the first red flag. Will Power, who crashed in Friday’s practice session, lost control of his No. He slid off track, into the gravel, but avoided the tire barrier. Later in the session, Colton Herta drove through the gravel but steered it back on course. 14 Chevrolet began to smoke and he had to pull off course with 12 minutes, 58 seconds left in the session. The cars returned to the track with 3-1/12 minutes to go and ended with Lundgaard on top.
