Kanaan finds speed, leads Carb Day practice

INDIANAPOLIS -- Tony Kanaan anticipates the most competitive Indianapolis 500 in his 18 years in the race.

In other words, Kanaan will need all the speed he finally found Friday.

Kanaan turned a quick lap of 225.517 mph to top the charts in final practice for Sunday's running of "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing." And it came after Kanaan was vocal in his displeasure of his No. 14 car for A.J. Foyt Enterprises after the penultimate practice session this past Monday.

"I'm happier because I found a couple things, not because we were at the top," said the popular Kanaan, who won the race in 2013.
