Alex Palou led the opening practice Friday for The Thermal Club Grand Prix, turning a top lap of 1 minute, 40.5486 seconds in his No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda. “A really good start to the weekend for the No. 10 DHL Honda team,” Palou said. “We didn’t get many laps because of some red flags, but the car rolled off really well considering it was very different to last year with different tires and the hybrid unit, and we didn’t test here this year. I’m really happy. There are some things to work on before we head to practice two tomorrow, but I’m looking forward to a nice weekend.”
