It was well over an hour before practice began at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park but there was already a beehive of activity around Logan Seavey’s Rice Motorsports-Abacus Racing Silver Crown car. “We had the right package on the dirt,” Gardner said. “Now we had to do it all over and sleep on it, which kind of sucked,” Gardner said. “Logan and I watched the sprint car race and he was good for 12 or 15 laps and the car just started plowing,” Gardner said. “I have always been able to race under the line at IRP,” Swanson said. “I saw the smoke and saw him hit the wall,” Gardner said. “I didn’t think he could get all the way back to us,” Gardner said. “I didn’t get to sleep until the wee hours of the morning,” Gardner said.
