Mid-Ohio IndyCar: Hunter-Reay fastest in second practice

A little moisture didn’t slow down Ryan Hunter-Reay, who led the second practice for the Honda Indy 200 at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.

The Andretti Autosport veteran, who also led a practice session at the last natural terrain road course race at Road America, was the quickest driver before and after a brief delay for moisture. 

Hunter-Reay's No. 28 DHL Honda's fastest lap was clocked at 64.2961 seconds, equating to an average of 124.167mph. 

A trio of championship contenders, Josef Newgarden, Scott Dixon, and Simon Pagenaud, were the second, third and fourth quickest drivers respectively, and were all within three tenths of a second of Hunter-Reay. 

Graham Rahal and Marco Andretti, who ended the morning session with second and third quickest laps, ended the afternoon session in eighth and seventh spots respectively.
