By David Morgan, Associate Editor SPEEDWAY, Ind. – Detroit can’t come soon enough for Marcus Ericsson. Since crashing his primary car in practice ahead of qualifying weekend for the 108th running of the Indianapolis 500, it has been one thing after another for the driver of the No. 28 Andretti Global Honda. Struggling to find speed with his back-up car, Ericsson nearly missed out of the race altogether after falling into the Last Row Shootout to even have a chance to make the 33-car field. In that Sunday session to determine

Wilson, who was set to take part in his fifth Indy 500 in the Dreyer & Reinbold Racing/Cusick Motorsports entry, tangled with fellow British driver Katherine Legge just past the halfway point of the two-hour session, sending both drivers hard into the Turn 1 wall. As the freight

The once-black Chevrolet-powered Dallara is a crisp blue and white, the predominant colors of new sponsor AES Indiana. And the team has trimmed from two cars to one for this year’s 105th Running of the Indianapolis 500 on May 30, hoping that narrowing the manpower to one entry will produce better results than recent 500s. The best look of all, though, was on
