Even though Indy cars do not run on carburetors any more, Frenchman Simon Pagenaud set the fastest time on Carb Day at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on the last Friday before the famed Indy 500 race.
The Schmidt Peterson driver -- behind the wheel of a Honda-powered Dallara -- set his fastest lap with only minutes to go with a 225.827mph effort, bettering the 225.304mph lap that had been laid down by Andretti's EJ Viso a few minutes earlier.
Viso's teammate, reining champion Ryan Hunter-Reay was third fastest.
