Brits ready for Indy
Dario Franchitti
British duo Dan Wheldon and Dario Franchitti declared themselves happy after the final practice session for the Indianapolis 500 later this month.

Wheldon will start second on the grid, one place ahead of Andretti Green team-mate Franchitti for the 30 May race.

"We're well prepared. Obviously conditions change at this place and you can't be too confident," said Indy Racing League leader Wheldon.

"We're where we need to be and we're looking forward to the race."

Edinburgh-born Franchitti is hoping to emulate his fellow Scot Jim Clark by winning at The Brickyard.

"We had a couple small changes we wanted to try, and we did those," he said.

"We tried to do a couple long runs, but they were interrupted by caution periods. We're just hoping that we've found what we need to try and win this race."
