Chip Ganassi Racing’s Alex Palou captured pole for Saturday’s Indy GP on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.

The Spaniard was quiet for the majority of qualifying, but managed to deliver a late flyer of 1m09.0004s to claim the top spot on the 2.439-mile, 14-turn IMS circuit. It was the fourth career pole for Palou, but his first on the IMS road course. 'Yeah, it's a tricky place,' said Palou. 'Every time you can start up front in IndyCar it makes a difference. So yeah, looking forward to it. We only used one set of alternates here in qualifying. Looking forward to it tomorrow.

Newgarden then went third, followed by the Arrow McLaren duo of O’Ward and Rossi in fourth and fifth, respectively. McLaughlin’s freefall continued as Fittipaldi’s late surge pushed him into sixth – the final transfer spot. Despite his best efforts, McLaughlin could not climb higher than seventh and narrowly missed the cut by 0.0048s. “Yeah, it is IndyCar and it's frustrating,” McLaughlin said. “But yeah, I actually felt my laps were really good. Obviously not good enough.
