The result was Harta’s 15th career pole and since Toronto in 2024.

“It was an unknown and we were not really strong, to be completely honest, with a soft tire yesterday,” Harta accepted. “But people did a great job overnight. (The Genbridge Honda was super fast today.

“It was a great relief. We have closed for some time this year on making it, not only making it for fast 6, but making it on a pole run. Happy to do so. P1 is happy to start tomorrow. The best seat in the house. Now we just need a good, easy race. To return.

Composed as merit

It sets the trio to stand alone at the top of the chart in the final round, Andrati again deployed the front line to sweep – as did the Indie NXT only one hour earlier. But Kirkwood felt that “he was not more disappointed than the third in my life” after a possible pole run, when his car loosened and broke a tow link. This allowed Malukas to tie the best qualifying result of his career and set a new personal best on a street circuit in the other.

The official Indianapolis 500 runner-up, Malukas told Fox Sports, “We are starting where we are ending.” “We are still in that P2 spot. It is a really good session. I think as soon as we took off the car in Detroit, we knew that we were scoring a good run.”

Harta topped Fast 12 with a time of 1: 00.4569, with slotting in Kirkwood second. Malukas, Lundguard, Palou and Rahal followed the pair in the final round.

Saturday’s result was an early blow to Rosenkwist, who entered the fourth place in the weekend in the championship standing. Sweda pointed to the finger in Armstrong, the partner of his mayor’s cone racing team, leading him an opportunity to move forward on a tight date circuit.

“We had traffic from our team partner,” Rosenkwist told Fox Sports. “Armstrong was just closing in the middle of the lap. I think it was a good lap and whatever it was, he hit the difference.

“I think it’s stupid. We really discussed it, (said) ‘Let’s not screw each other.” And he really did the same. ,
