The Xfinity Series was the only scheduled series on-track activity for Friday.

RELATED: Weather updates | Full Indy schedule The Xfinity Series race at Indianapolis Motor Speedway will use the same aerodynamic package used at this track last season that produced a record number of race leaders (8) and lead changes (16). The package has already been used this season at Pocono and Michigan. The 2017 Indy-specific package included a taller rear spoiler, use of a restrictor plate (7/8th-inch) and aero ducts (similar to brake duct openings) in an attempt to lessen the aerodynamic advantage enjoyed by the lead car at the 2.5-mile track. A fleet of 19 units of the Toyota Track Drying Team are on hand to dry the track as quickly as possible in the event of wet weather, along with 10 jets and four vacuums.
