Also among the 14 first-timers to drive at the Speedway will be Hideki Mutoh and Robbie Pecorari, the top two rookies in the Indy Pro Series point standings, ranking second and fifth, respectively.
“I’m really looking forward to Indianapolis,” Mutoh said. “I’ve spoken to my engineer, and we’re really focused to win there. The test is really important so we can get a good result. It’s such a big track with a long straight. I think it will be quite fun.”
Among the veterans who will test are the past two winners of the Freedom 100, Wade Cunningham (2006) and Jaime Camara (2005), as well as series points leader Alex Lloyd, who has won the first three races of the season.
“It’s always a great thing coming to the speedway and driving there,” Lloyd said. “We haven’t raced on the oval since last year, so it’s been a fair while. It’s exciting, and it’s especially exciting to be coming with a car that will be quick. Knowing that I will have a car that can go quick, it’ll be exciting, especially to run a quick car on this type of track. You always get goose bumps when getting ready to run here. I’ve been looking forward to this test since we finished the Florida races.”
