INDIANAPOLIS  – James Hinchcliffe was fastest in the opening practice for the 104th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge on Aug. 12 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, leading a strong day for Andretti Autosport. Hinchcliffe was one of three Andretti Autosport cars in the top four, while each of the top four drivers were powered by Honda engines. And to have six cars prepared at the level that they do is incredibly impressive, with three of them in the top five after the first day of practice. Ben Hanley was the only driver not on track during the regular sessions. Drivers combined to turn 2,444 incident-free laps, with Marcus Ericsson completing 129 laps in the No. “Friday is going to be super-interesting with the extra boost,” Hinchcliffe said.
