Official Indy Light Discussion Thread - Round 6 - Miwaukee

Allan Craighead

Morning all,

Only days after the checkered flag at the Freedom 100, the Firestone Indy Lights are set to roll on-course at the fast Milwaukee Mile. A challenging 1-mile oval, it will be interesting to see if Dillon Battistini and Panther Racing can continue their strong showings on the ovals, or if another driver/team is ready to take top honors. The drivers will have two practice sessions and single-car qualifying on Saturday, prior to race getting underway on Sunday morning. As always we will be keeping up to date with all the action and posting any news or notes from track here. So be sure to check back often, and if you have notes, comments or question regarding the race, this is the place to post.

Cheers,
