The first short oval race of the season at World Wide Technology Raceway will take place this weekend with a two-lap solo qualifying session.
Will Power secured pole position over his Team Penske team-mate Scott McLaughlin during the session on Saturday afternoon.
With this pole position, Power has now amassed a total of 71 poles in his IndyCar career, further solidifying his lead in this all-time record.
Five Chevrolet drivers will occupy the first five grid positions for the upcoming race, providing a much-needed boost to the Detroit-based squad which has yet to secure a victory this season.
The championship leader Alex Palou and the only other 2025 season winner Kyle Kirkwood will start from the fifth row in Sunday’s race.
As the sun sets on Saturday, a late practice session will be held, leading up to the main race on Sunday evening at 7:00 PM central time.
