IndyCar completed a busy qualifying session on the streets of Toronto Saturday afternoon, with slick city roads providing a challenge up and down the field. Just as he did during last year’s visit to Canada, Colton Herta was able to put in the quickest lap of the session to lock in pole position. Herta lapped the 1.79-mile course in 59.8320 seconds, a full quarter of a second faster than anyone else in the field. Times had been very close all throughout the order all afternoon, so having a 0.276 second advantage in the final run showed just how strong the California-native was. Alex Palou was the second quickest, earning himself a spot alongside Herta as he continues to march towards his fourth championship. Marcus Armstrong set the third best time, followed closely by Will Power, who was the only Chevy-powered representative in the Fast Six. Graham Rahal earned the fifth starting position, with Kyle Kirkwood coming in sixth. Drivers will return to the track for the main event on Sunday at noon eastern time, when the streets will become more narrow than ever with a full field battling for the same real estate.
