Only three drivers made it onto the track for about 45 minutes Wednesday morning before rain hit the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Two of the drivers, Nelson Philippe and Stanton Barrett, still need to complete their mandatory rookie test to be eligible for the start of qualifications on Saturday. Philippe, a 22-year-old Frenchman, was the fastest in the abbreviated session at 217.668 mph. Rookies Mike Conway, Robert Doornbos, Alex Tagliani and Raphael Matos completed their tests Tuesday. The third driver on the track Wednesday was veteran Alex Lloyd, who was allowed to practice with the rookies because he has not driven a race yet this season. Copyright 2009 The Associated Press.
