Louis Foster, the 2024 Indy NXT by Firestone champion, will start first in the Music City Grand Prix despite qualifying being rained out at Nashville Superspeedway. Foster expressed disappointment at the interrupted qualifying session but remains hopeful for a dry race day. The Andretti Global driver will start at the front for the seventh time this season after leading both practice sessions on the 1.33-mile oval. Nine drivers attempted qualifying before rain halted the session, and all cars will start the race on new Firestone tires. Live coverage of the 65-lap race will begin at 11:50 a.m. ET on Peacock and the IndyCar Radio Network. Jacob Abel will start second alongside Foster on the front row, with rookie teammates Caio Collet and Christian Brooks on row two, and rookies Callum Hedge and Salvador de Alba Jr. on row three.
