If last weekend at Belle Isle served as redemption for last year’s race for Will Power, the same could be said for today’s race at Road America for Josef Newgarden.

Good morning from a sunny and warm Road America. It is much more pleasant than it was at this time yesterday morning. The overcast we woke up to has given way to sunny skies and warmer temperatures. I was wearing a jacket this morning, but I quickly realized it was not necessary. Today’s high is supposed to be around 74°.

As noted yesterday, it seems that Alexander Rossi picked up where he left off at Detroit. Even with a clutch issue in this morning’s practice, Rossi was fourth quick – following Pato O’Ward, Will Power and Alex Palou. This afternoon – Rossi put his No. 27 Honda on the pole for Sunday’s Sonsio Grand Prix at Road America, with a time of 1:44.8656.

I’ve said before that time passes more quickly at a race track, than at any other place on earth. Nowhere does that statement apply more, than at Road America.

We were BOTH moving slowly this morning, but we are finally all checked in and settled at Road America. They have a new automated system here, where you check in online before arriving. When we showed our phones, we didn’t even need to get out of the car – they brought our credentials and parking pass to us.
