Kurt Busch turned his fastest of 83 IndyCar Series laps at 218.210 mph with Andretti Autosport today, but indicates he won’t try the Memorial Day The Indianapolis 500 / Coca-Cola 600 double this season:
“A driver can race here at Indianapolis and give a full 500 miles. That needs to be the end of his day. To run 600 miles after that, you’ve got to pace yourself.

Passion is a very important characteristic to a champion driver. That passion is not something I will apologize for. The outside line – the 10th spot, in particular – was a huge advantage over the 9th position. David executed that positioning perfectly for the win.
