Practice 2 at St. Pete has been completed as the 2026 IndyCar season is underway, view the full results below. Marcus Ericsson was quickest in this session last year.
IndyCar confirmed days ahead of the season that the practice 1 format would not be adopted for practice 2 as well.
On Friday afternoon, Team Penske driver Scott McLaughlin went quickest. Four drivers were within a tenth of him on this short race track.
On debut for Andretti, Will Power crashed in tricky conditions following rain overnight. It meant he did no time in second and final practice. Christian Rasmussen joined him later at turn 2 and 3 as the track slowly started to dry out. Caio Collet did not get to the split segment either thanks to a broken left rear suspension.
