'Birds were flying': Indy rookie's bold move cops flak

Colton Herta gave IndyCar Series rookie Christian Rasmussen the bird in practice at the Indianapolis 500 for a move he was none too pleased with.

Rasmussen tried to pass Herta into turn one at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, forcing Herta to go off the traditional racing line and come off the throttle.

The Ed Carpenter Racing driver copped a middle finger from Herta for his troubles and the Andretti Global driver let Rasmussen know how he felt as he passed by on the straight.

Day two of practice at Indianapolis Motor Speedway was hit by inclement weather, limiting running.

Meyer Shank Racing’s Tom Blomqvist completed the most laps of any with 105 to his credit, just over half of the race distance.
