| CHEVROLET IN THE NTT INDYCAR SERIES Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix1.645-mile, 10-turn Detroit street circuit Detroit, Michigan Saturday Qualifying ReportMay 30, 2026 DETROIT (May 30, 2026) – DETROIT (May 30, 2026) – Scott McLaughlin, in the No. 3 Clarience Technologies Team Penske Chevrolet was the quickest Team Chevy qualifier on the 1.645-mile, 10-turn Detroit street circuit. Joining McLaughlin in the Firestone Fast Six was Christian Lundgaard, in the No. 7 VELO Arrow McLaren Chevrolet. Pato O’Ward in the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet, and Christian Rasmussen in the No. 21 Splenda Chevrolet Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix Qualifying Results:  What they’re saying – Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix qualifying:What they’re saying – Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix qualifying:Scott McLaughlin, No. 3 Clarience Technologies Team Penske Chevrolet qualified 3rd:“The Clarience Technologies Chevy was great. Going out first. I’m a big going out second guy, but I think going out first, and keeping the temp was a good gamble. I was really loose. So, unfortunately got a bit loose there. We’re in a great spot to fight tomorrow.” Where are you going to be the most aggressive? “Anywhere. I’ll just take what I can get. We’ve got to execute. But, we’re racing against really good guys. They’re going to defend in the right spots. We’ll take what we can get and make sure we don’t make any mistakes.” Christian Lundgaard, No. 7 VELO Arrow McLaren Chevrolet qualified 5th:“We qualified P5 in Detroit, which after an engine issue in Practice 2, I’m very happy to get a solid result for the team and for Team Chevy. I think there are some good things in store for tomorrow. I feel like we have a better race car than we did last year, which is promising. We just have to go out and execute and let the race come to us, not get too greedy. I’m pumped for tomorrow.” Pato O’Ward, No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet qualified 7th:“We’re much better than where we were here the last few years. I’m a little bummed that we didn’t get ourselves into the Firestone Fast Six. The margins here are so, so tight. The start here is always chaos, so I think tomorrow fifth or sixth or seventh will be very similar. So, that’s what we had today. I think we did have a little bit more maybe if I had got it perfect. But, like I said, it’s just so tight. The little bits and details that you can find some lap time make a big difference. We’re starting seventh. It’s the happiest I’ve been here. We just have to make it go fast for the race.” Christian Rasmussen, No. 21 Splenda Chevrolet qualified 9th:“The Splenda Chevrolet has been good. I wasn’t super happy yesterday, but, already in this practice this morning, I was I was way happier. And then we had good speed. Getting into the Fast 12 was obviously nice for us. We’ve been struggling in qualifying this year, so finally getting that done was nice and, just breaking into the top ten. On my last lap, I think Dixon went long in turn 8, so I had a yellow flag. So, I knew I couldn’t really improve. I think maybe we could’ve squeezed a, a fast 6 out of it, but, I mean, who knows? For now, I’m happy with p9, and we’ll just go race it tomorrow from here.” Nolan Siegel, No. 6 NTT DATA Arrow McLaren Chevrolet qualified 13th“Very frustrating Qualifying session. It went red on my fast lap, and then we were too far back in pit lane to do two laps at the end. So, our session got cut short there, but there’s plenty of pace in the car. So, very annoyed, but there’s potential for a good day tomorrow.” Alexander Rossi, No. 20 ECR Java House C Chevrolet qualified 14th:“I think the No. 20 Java House Chevrolet was a pretty good car in qualifying. Certainly, much improved from last year, we were just in a tough group and didn’t quite have enough to advance. I feel pretty content with the package we have going into tomorrow.” Rinus VeeKay, No. 76 Juncos Hollinger Chevrolet qualified 18th:“Tough day here in Detroit. Great job by the guys to fix both cars ready to go for qualifying. Track grip increased significantly from yesterday, so just trying to see where the grip was. I was on a lap that was three-tenths quicker already, and then the red flag came out. That was it unfortunately, so I’m starting 18th tomorrow. I think we’ve got a strong car and I’m excited to move forward from the back and make use of the car we have.” Caio Collet, No. 4 Combitrans Amazonia Chevrolet qualified 19th:“Since yesterday, been struggling a little bit with a couple of issues. Qualifying with the red flag was a little bit tougher there, but I made a mistake on my (optimal) lap before that, and afterwards, I could not get back the tire grip that I had. Without the mistake, I think we’re maybe looking to be a couple of rows better. For tomorrow, we need just to figure out a couple of things, also from my side, and make a good race car for tomorrow.”[Is the pain in your side from the Indy 500 crash bothering you?]“No, not at all. I think it’s just a bit sore when I jump in and out of the car. With the adrenaline and obviously the medical team, they are just giving me a couple of things to deal with it. I’m not feeling anything when I’m in the Combitrans car. It’s just when I jump out, it’s a little bit sore and hurts a bit.” Josef Newgarden, No. 2 Astemo Team Penske Chevrolet qualified 21st:|“It’s great to just be out here with the team. They’ve done a great job for me. They’ve always got my back. They’ve helped me get in this thing this weekend. I feel appreciative to represent our partners Astemo and Team Chevy. Obviously, I wish I could give them a bit more this weekend. We’re out here fighting and we’re going to fight through it together.” Santino Ferrucci, No. 14 Homes For Our Troops Chevrolet qualified 22nd: “We had a fantastic car. I don’t think we could have had any worse luck on the timing of the red (flag), we were in (the Fast 12) on the SMT. All I had to do is get through those two corners, and the Homes for our Troops Chevy was getting better and better. I didn’t even have it down in my mind that I couldn’t continue to improve, and yeah, just a shame. It’s racing. Last year we came from 21st to second, so guess we’re gonna have to do it again. Sting Ray Robb, No. 77 Juncos Hollinger – Goodheart Chevrolet qualified 24th:“I mean, this has been a, lapless weekend so far. Yesterday, we had the issue with the clutch in the first practice, so I didn’t get out for the main running there. Did a few laps in the group running, but that’s not enough to get used to this place. And then completely turned the car around to go into today to match, the No.76 car. Was happy with it in practice with the few laps that we did, but there was such a progression later on in the in the run there. “So, I got to see a few cars really move forward. And then, we were just kind of guessing what it’s going be like in qualifying. That’s the first set of reds that I’ve seen. Didn’t really know what the balance is going to be like. So really went in blind. I think we did okay. Had we done more laps, I think that we could have transferred with the times that we were thinking that we’re available.” David Malukas, No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet qualified: 25th:“All good. It’s just, fine margins, and, honestly, our car wasn’t where we wanted it to be. In both practice sessions, we’re just missing that little bit. I just drove just that little bit harder and, it was pushing the limit on all corners of the track I almost hit the wall many laps earlier, many corners earlier, and then on that one, I just had one big wobble on entry. And, I just had to keep the foot planted because we needed that extra time to make the transfer and probably should have let go. I probably should have just gave up not making the transfer, and then just kept the car in one piece. That one is all on me.” Tune-In Guide Sunday, May 31NTT INDYCAR SERIES Warm Up – 9:30am (ET)/8:30am (CT)/7:30am (MT)/6:30am (PT) – FS2/INDYCAR Radio Network/SIRIUSXM 218Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix (100 laps) – 12:30pm(ET)/11:30am (CT)/10:30am (MT)/9:30am (PT) – FS2/INDYCAR Radio Network/SIRIUSXM 218 |
