The 2013 Indy 500 winner Kanaan’s top lap in the 90-minute session – shortened and started two hours late due to morning rain –  was 227.114 mph in the No. 1 The American Legion Chip Ganassi Racing Honda.

It truly was a Memorial Day Classic, having survived Tony George’s best attempts to kill the race with the ill-fated Indy Racing League fiasco. Nonetheless, the series, which used to dominate the sports pages during May is now only one racing event alongside the F1 Monaco Grand Prix (Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes-Benz) and NASCAR’s 600-mile Charlotte race (Martin Truex in a Toyota won).
