Jeff Chandler as Juan Pablo Montoya Leads F1 HERO Final Practice at Indianapolis

[newsbot]

With our F1 HERO Race upcoming in only a few short days (March 15th) for our community leaders, we held our final official practice for the event tonight at Indianapolis Road Course. Jeff Chandler who will be role playing as Juan Pablo Montoya in the event led the way in the final practice with a blistering 1:11.099 lap. Behind Jeff in 2nd place for the practice was David Anderson as Jenson Button with another productive test to back up his top grid spot in the first practice. David's laptime in the BAR Honda was a 1:11.834. Rounding out the top 3 in the final practice was Rich Lee in the Jarno Trulli Toyota machine. Rich was consistently fast all night in the final practice and would post a 1:12.156 on the board.
