After being rained out on Saturday, IndyCar held the beginning of its qualifying schedule on Sunday at noon. Each driver only received one shot to set their best four-lap average due to the compressed schedule that necessitated all rounds be run on a single afternoon. That meant that positions 13-33 were locked in after just a single attempt, and no more options were available. Drivers near the front advanced to the next round, however, including Felix Rosenqvist who was fastest of all with a four-lap average of 232.599 MPH. Next on the charts was David Malukas in second, followed by Conor Daly in third, and Rinus VeeKay securing fifth place. Overall, Chevrolet was dominant, securing eight of the 12 available positions on the first four rows and six of the fastest seven. Just below the cut line was Takuma Sato in 13th, missing advancement by 0.1 MPH. On the other hand, Josef Newgarden found himself starting in the 24th position, while Dale Coyne Racing entries Romain Grosjean and Dennis Hauger were near the bottom of the charts.
