Charlie Kimball, who only ran two laps in the morning session with an electrical issue, was seventh fastest.

Max Chilton brought out the red flag when he locked it up exiting Turn 5 and hit the guardrail, damaging the right side. Helio Castroneves also made right-side contact with the guardrail exiting the Boot.

Pat Jordon, fueler for Carlos Munoz, was run over by his driver during pit stop practice and suffered injuries to his toes.
