Marco Andretti tops speed chart on busy day of Indy practice

INDIANAPOLIS -- Marco Andretti led four Honda drivers atop the speed chart on the second day of practice for the Indianapolis 500.

After ending Wednesday as the fastest driver of the day, Andretti promptly asked for rain to wash out the next few days at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

"When you're good, you always want it to rain and go right into the race instead of giving other guys time to catch up," he said.

Qualifying for the May 27 race begins Saturday, and Andretti is anxious to get on with the show.

He turned a lap at 227.
