Cole Kleck topped the time charts following a pair of practice sessions for this weekend’s Porsche Carrera Cup North America action at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The Topp Racing driver reeled off a best lap of 1:24.976 in Friday afternoon’s session to edge out ACI Motorsports driver Janne Stiak by 0.054 seconds.

Kellymoss’ Aaron Jeansonne, who paced the morning session, ended up third on the combined time sheets, thanks to his 1:25.141 lap time from Practice 1.

Points leader Tyler Maxson was fourth in the No. 77 Topp Porsche 911 Cup, with Paul Bocuse completing the top-five for Kellymoss.

Marco Cirone was quickest in the Masters class in his ACI Porsche, ahead of Patrick Mulcahy, who is set to clinch the Pro-Am title this weekend as being the only entrant in the class.

The only reported incident came in the first session when the No. 3 CSM Porsche of Nikita Lastochkin spun in Turn 7 but continued.

Qualifying is on tap for 7:05 p.m. EST.
