Palou Dominates Road America Pole

Alex Palou dominated qualifying at Road America with his fifth straight pole, blasting a blistering lap to edge out David Malukas by three tenths—after switching back to a Friday setup that suddenly clicked. It’s his first pole here, and he called it a surprise. Malukas grabbed second for Team Penske, while Meyer Shank Racing locked in the second row with Marcus Armstrong and Felix Rosenqvist. Andretti’s Marcus Ericsson and Scott McLaughlin rounded out the Fast Six. Meanwhile, Santino Ferrucci starts 13th after a penalty, and Alexander Rossi is relegated to last after his own engine change—setting up a wild, high-stakes race with plenty of ground to make up.
