Summary
Alex Palou just obliterated the field with a blistering pole lap at World Wide Technology Raceway, posting an average speed of 174.353 mph — nearly a full mph faster than his closest rival. His fourth consecutive pole shows he’s on fire, especially after admitting he’s struggled at this track before. He outpaced David Malukas, Kyle Kirkwood, Felix Rosenqvist, and Scott McLaughlin, while Pato O’Ward and Will Power stumbled into ninth and twenty-first respectively. Palou’s team chemistry and car performance were flawless — “on rails,” he called it — and now he starts from the front for the Bommarito Automotive Group 500.
