Pato O'Ward (McLaren SP) set the best time in the second and final free practice session, confirming that we would have to count on the runner-up to Alex Palou (Ganassi) in the championship on the Lexington circuit.

Second on Friday, behind Josef Newgarden, the Mexican this time beat the American from Team Penske by less than a hundredth, with a best lap in 1'06"0911.

Colton Herta (Andretti) set the 3rd time. 

French side, Romain Grosjean (11th) and Sébastien Bourdais (16th) temporarily occupied the lead of the session, before falling back in the hierarchy once the soft tires were put on to prepare for qualifying, which will take place from 18 p.m. (HF).

simon pagenaud (Penske) was satisfied with an 18th fastest time.
