It wasn't long before teammate Felix Rosenqvist wandered into O'Ward's motorhome and joined in the social interaction. When they realized they were missing Juan Pablo Montoya, Rosenqvist summoned the third Arrow McLaren SP driver for the Indianapolis 500 to the motorhome for chips and dip.

That was the most excitement on Day 2 of preparations for the 106th running of the Indy 500. IndyCar had scheduled six hours of track time … [Read more...] about INDY DAY 2: Chips, dip and paper boats on washout day
