Armstrong, who drove his own No. 66 Honda in the morning session, stepped in for an ill Rosenqvist in the afternoon. He set the fastest time during the final 20 minutes of running on a warm, clear day.
Juncos Hollinger Racing's Conor Daly finished second with a 52.5931s lap, while Team Penske's Will Power took third position with a 52.8032s time.
"We didn't do a lot of laps in the 60 car, but I'm happy to sub for Felix," Armstrong said. "We limited our tire running to save some for him tomorrow. We ran at the very end and did a decent lap."
Scott Dixon's session ended prematurely when his Chip Ganassi Racing Honda suffered an apparent engine failure after just two laps, requiring an engine change.
The test continues Tuesday with Dixon's group running the morning session, while Monday morning's runners will close out the two-day test in the afternoon.
