Rookie Jerry Sneva drives to Indy 500 test success
Indianapolis rookie driver Jerry Sneva, 25, completed 20 laps at speeds from 165 to 175 mph in a reassembled car after a crash damaged the nose cone. His father Ed Sneva helped repair the machine as Tom Sneva, Jerry’s brother, signaled speeds. The car ran out of fuel on the final lap, and Jerry aimed to finish the last phase Thursday as practice for the May 25 race continued. Johnny Rutherford led practice with a lap over 187 mph.
