Obviously a fluid situation with David Malukas. Conor Daly met with Team Penske officials and Team Penske INDYCAR President Jonathan Diuguid updates the plan at this moment is for Daly to shake down Malukas car in qualifying. Malukas TBD for practice tonight. @IndyCarOnFOX

Some INDYCAR teams have put on slicks already as the sun has come out. Qualifying should start in five minutes at Mid-Ohio.

I’ve called a lot of @IndyNXT practice sessions over the years but that was definitely the first where a driver parked his car on pitlane early and hopped out because he suddenly landed an @Indycar ride for the weekend. Nolan Siegel in…Agustin Canapino out of the JHR #78 WILD

This story will be updated more this afternoon, but of note: This was a decision made by the team to pull Canapino from the No. 78 at Road America, with one source noting he wasn’t in the right mental space to race this weekend.
"The growth of online abuse & harassment resulting from the events of this week have led to a very difficult experience for Agustin, (JHR) & the whole IndyCar fan base. The safety of Agustin & the rest of the (field) has to be considered first & foremost.” indystar.com/story/sports/mo…

Agustin Canapino has stepped down from Juncos Hollinger for this weekend's IndyCar race. The team say he is "taking a leave of absence". More to follow. #IndyCar

2 PM RADAR UPDATE: almost there…popping into a dry gap, then one small sliver of a shower to go. Lightning is well over 30 miles away and continues to move off to the east. We look pretty good to start drying very soon. #Indy500 #INDYCAR

Can confirm the original report from @JennaFryer, re: Palou/McLaren. A statement from @ZBrownCEO: "I'm extremely disappointed that Alex Palou does not intend to honor his contractual obligations to race with us in IndyCar in 2024 and beyond." More: indystar.com/story/sports/mo…

The Fault in Our Stars has been removed from the YA section in the suburbs of Indianapolis and is now considered a "book for adults." This is ludicrous. It is about teenagers and I wrote it for teenagers. Teenagers are not harmed by reading TFIOS. This is such an embarrassment to the city of @FishersIN.

My reply to the board members of @FishersIN and @NoblesvilleIN seeking to remove my books (and over a hundred others) from the young adult literature shelves in their libraries. Heartbreaking for this to happen in Central Indiana, where I live and strive to support.
