David Malukas was second at 231.813 with Conor Daly third at 231.744, topping the 12-car pole shootout.<\/p>\n

Others who advanced were Scott McLaughlin, the 2024 Indy pole winner and Malukas\u2019 teammate with Team Penske; Rinus Veekay of Juncos Hollinger Racing; 2016 race winner Alexander Rossi of Ed Carpenter Racing; two-time Indy runner-up Pato O\u2019Ward of Arrow McLaren; Santino Ferrucci and rookie Caio Collet of A.J. Foyt Enterprises; and three Chip Ganassi Racing drivers: 2008 race winner Scott Dixon, defending champ Alex Palou and Kyffin Simpson.<\/p>\n

The semifinal round will be held later Sunday afternoon with the six fastest vying for the pole in next Sunday\u2019s sold-out race.<\/p>\n

Katherine Legge cleared the initial step in trying to complete racing\u2019s \u201cdouble\u201d by qualifying 27th. She\u2019s also hoping to qualify for next weekend\u2019s Coca-Cola 600. She\u2019s trying to become the first female to attempt the one-day, 1,100-mile marathon in Indianapolis and Charlotte.<\/p>\n

Helio Castroneves, the Brazilian driver with Meyer Shank Racing, will start his quest for a record-breaking fifth Indy win from the No. 15 starting spot, the outside of Row 5. Indy rookie Mick Schumacher, the son of seven-time world champion Michael Schumacher, will make his first start from No. 28.<\/p>\n

But qualifying weekend certainly did not go according to script after heavy rain washed out the first scheduled qualification day \u2014 the first time since 2008 a full day of 500 qualifications was lost. When drivers returned Sunday, they competed in the hottest temperatures of the week on a track with less grip than they had in practice.<\/p>\n

And the changing conditions certainly made an impact.<\/p>\n

Two-time Indy winner Takuma Sato, the Japanese driver with Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, failed to make the shootout after brushing the wall during Sunday\u2019s pre-qualifying practice. He had a surprisingly slow average of 230.576 to finish 13th.<\/p>\n

Josef Newgarden, the third Penske driver, qualified 24th with an average of 230.165.<\/p>\n

And Andretti Global drivers were shut out of the shootout. Marcus Ericsson, the 2022 Indy champ, will start 18th, while 2018 race winner Will Power earned the No. 20 starting spot and Kyle Kirkwood will start 26th as he heads into next weekend second in the points.<\/p>\n
