Jimmy Vasser of Las Vegas continued to lead area competitors Thursday with a lap of 221.988 mph on the fifth day of practice for the 85th running of the Indianapolis 500.
Although it was a bit slower than his fastest time of the month, the upbeat Vasser was pleased with his speed. "I have taken some ideas that Tony (Stewart) has given me, and it has really helped us," Vasser said. "This is a great organization. It was a very good day for us." List on 10D.
