The NTT IndyCar Series visited the iconic Road America circuit this weekend, facing challenging conditions with high temperatures and gusty winds affecting the 27 drivers. Despite the tough circumstances, rookie Louis Foster impressed by securing his first career IndyCar pole, showcasing his skills on the track. As the reigning IndyNXT champion moving up to the top echelon this year, Foster’s experience at Road America helped him clock an impressive time of 1:44.5141 to claim the pole position.
The current championship leader, Alex Palou, secured a slot on the front row alongside Foster, while Kyle Kirkwood and Scott McLaughlin lined up on the second row.
