Overview
- Following Saturday’s rainout that compressed all rounds into Sunday, Palou topped the Fast Six to lead a front row with Alexander Rossi and David Malukas.
- IndyCar said Caio Collet’s No. 4 and Jack Harvey’s No. 24 had unapproved changes to Dallara Energy Management System covers and their mounting points, so both were reassigned to the back by season points.
- Felix Rosenqvist set the pace in the first two rounds and logged the day’s quickest four-lap run, then cooled in the final shootout and will start fourth.
- Practice and qualifying ran without major crashes, and teams now get short tune‑ups, including Friday’s Carb Day session, before the May 24 race.
- Palou is the first defending winner to take the next year’s pole since 2010 and he arrives as the points leader pursuing a fourth straight IndyCar title.
