Jimmie Johnson and Romain Grosjean turned their first laps on the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval on Wednesday as part of a test session for approval to race the Indianapolis 500. Rain shortened the session so neither driver completed the testing phase. Johnson said he fulfilled a childhood dream by being on the track but he does not yet have a deal finalized to run in “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” Grosjean has signed with Andretti Autosport and will run a full schedule next season that includes the Indy 500.
