INDIANAPOLIS (Reuters) - Tony Kanaan will start from the middle of the gird for the Indianapolis 500 but had his AJ Foyt Racing Chevrolet out front on Friday, posting the top speed in final practise for the "the Greatest Spectacle in Racing".

Kanaan, who needed 12 years before capturing a maiden Indy 500 in 2013, flashed the type of speed that could take him to Victory Lane a second time - recording a maximum 225.517 mph around the sprawling 2.5-mile oval in the final tuneup for Sunday's race.
