Hocevar Claims Brickyard Pole | Indianapolis News

Carson Hocevar just shattered expectations, storming to pole position at the Brickyard 400 with a jaw-dropping 186.598 mph lap—outrunning Tyler Reddick and securing the front row for Chevrolet. Just 23, this rising star’s third career pole comes on the heels of a Talladega win and a dreamy childhood spent racing in a parking lot visible from the track. Reddick, who led most of qualifying, settles into third and eyes history—becoming the first driver to win both the oval and road course at Indy. With cooler temps aiding speeds and Sunday’s race expected to be hotter, teams brace for a tactical battle. Bubba Wallace starts 29th, Denny Hamlin fifth, and Ryan Blaney and Todd Gilliland in the hunt for a million bucks.
