The fight for pole came down to the very final corner of the 15-turn Barber Motorsports Park, with Scott McLaughlin
Will Power seemed to have secured pole position, but Scott McLaughlin saved his fastest lap for last and ended up crossing the line with a time of 1:05.9490, narrowly beating Power by 0.097 seconds. Christian Lundgaard completed the top three, followed by Pato O’Ward and Felix Rosenqvist in fourth and fifth places. Marcus Armstrong made it to his first Fast Six session but couldn’t improve from sixth position. Graham Rahal, visibly frustrated with his crew, felt he could have made it to the Fast Six with better communication and will start in seventh place. The Children’s of Alabama Grand Prix will take place Sunday afternoon at 12:30 Central Time, promising a challenging race on the sweeping turns for the 27-car field.
