Scott McLaughlin secured pole position for the NTT IndyCar Series race at WWTR, ending Meyer Shank Racing’s dominance on the timesheets. McLaughlin’s impressive performance in his Team Penske Chevrolet put him ahead of the competition with a two-lap average of 179.972mph. Despite Felix Rosenqvist and David Malukas initially holding the top spots, McLaughlin’s stellar run solidified his pole position. Josef Newgarden and Will Power also qualified well, ensuring all of Team Penske’s cars made it into the top five. Colton Herta faced disappointment after a crash during qualifying, while Jack Harvey encountered hybrid issues before even starting his run. Katherine Legge, on the other hand, opted out of qualifying altogether following a challenging practice session earlier in the day.
