The top five in combine practices include those drivers that have done well in the past at Barber Motorsports Park. People like Dixon, RYR, Power, and Rossi. Newcomer Wickens is up there as well. Should be a nother competitive IndyCar race as teams continue to build for Indy in May.

The top five are:

Power, Will
Wickens, Robert
Dixon, Scott
Hunter-Reay, Ryan
Rossi

100% chance of rain, so it's essentially a 25 car coin flip. I'll go

Rahal
Dixon (for a sixth time)
Pagenaud
Wickens

A lot of guys had a hard time keeping the car on a dry track. It should be nuts on a wet one.

They are running on the wets in the water. Marco spins already as Newgarden leaves everyone behind.

Newgarden still leads Power, Bordais, and RHR. Dixon and Rossi complete the top six. There is lots of water!!

Wow, Power loses control on the re-start and Newgarden almost lost as well.

Power is done for the day. Power just hydroplaned and RHR avoided a mess.

Looks like they are going to a red flag. A lot of the drivers are complaining of zero visibility inside the cars.

Apparently the moisture is getting behind the peel-away strips on the driver's helmets and the drivers can't see anything. Drivers are complaining of things being too dangerous to continue the race.

I don't think they are going to get this race in today.

Even with more water, Newgarden takes the win followed by RHR, Hinchcliffe, and Wickens with a great drive for fourth.
