In the third free practice for the Indy 500, Scott McLaughlin set the fastest time. Arrow McLaren's Pato O'Ward set the seventh-best time behind teammate Alexander Rossi in fifth. Former Formula 1 drivers Marcus Ericcson and Romain Grosjean finished 16th and 18th respectively.
The third free practice for the legendary Indy 500 was plagued by rain. The first day of practice also saw heavy rain, with the session cancelled after only 23 minutes, after which it was decided to cancel the rest of the day as well due to persistent rain.
