Monday Morning Starter

As we began another day of practice at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, still many things to look forward to.

1. Will Jean Alesi pass his rookie orientation today? He needs to run 15 laps above 210MPH and has yet to do one at that pace, his best being a little above 209MPH. Not to mention Simona de Silvestro has been slow her first two days at the track as well as Lotus struggles on.

2. Will Sarah Fisher Hartman Racing keep it up? While there have only been two days of practice, one has to wonder if this young team can keep up this speed for qualifying.

3. If it wasn't for SFHR, the Dale Coyne guys would be getting a lot more attention. Both Jakes and Wilson have looked good through the first two days but it is still early. 

4. When will Dragon get their engines? Legge still has to complete her rookie orientation and Bourdais has the refresher.
