Oh Dear!/ Helio Castroneves Fastest at Watkins Glen

EXCLUSIVE: Oh Dear!

Watkins Glen, NY - You are looking at exclusive images of a baby doe that got loose on the track today at Watkins Glen.

The little one was on the run and caused a delay until track workers cornered her into a culvert in the area of the track known as the "boot." She was tired from the humans chasing her but was ok.

Helio Castroneves had the hot shoe today recording the fastest time. Helio Castroneves jumped ahead of Tony Kanaan on the last lap to record the fastest practice lap of the day. Why is that so important? Under the IndyCar Series format, the quickest driver selects the qualifying order. The fastest six from single-car qualifying return for the 10-minute, all-car "Firestone Fast Six," which determines the first three rows.
