June 20, 2026 — ELKHART LAKE, WI
- Reigning and four-time series champion Alex Palou scores fifth-consecutive pole in 2026
- Meyer Shank Racing duo of Marcus Armstrong, Felix Rosenqvist lock out row two
- Marcus Ericsson P5 for Andretti Global
Alex Palou will lead the field to green for the fifth consecutive race in his #10 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda, this time at the XPEL Grand Prix at Road America.
Palou is a four-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion already, and holds a 49-point advantage in the championship standings as the series enters the second half of the 2026 season.
The Spaniard is the first driver since the late, great Alex Zanardi in the 1996-1997 seasons to score five straight IndyCar pole positions.
Palou will be going for his fourth win at Road America tomorrow, as well as his fifth win of 2026 following triumphs at St. Petersburg, Barber Motorsports Park, the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach and the Detroit Grand Prix.
The Meyer Shank Racing Honda pair of Marcus Armstrong and Felix Rosenqvist locked out row two in today’s qualifying from Road America. Rosenqvist is looking for his second-career win at Road America, as well as his second win of 2026 following his triumph as last month’s 110th running of the Indianapolis 500. Armstrong, meanwhile, is looking for his first NTT INDYCAR SERIES victory and his first podium of the 2026 IndyCar season.
Marcus Ericsson scored his first podium of 2026 last time out at World Wide Technology Raceway and is looking to carry that momentum to a strong result tomorrow from fifth on the grid in his Andretti Global Honda.

Alex Palou (#10 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda) qualified first: “Five poles in a row! That’s so cool. Thank you to Honda for all the power. My car, the #10 car, was impressive in qualifying today—once again. Now, we are going to focus on the race run. We’ll see how crazy it’s going to be with different strategies, but I’m looking forward to it!”

Marcus Armstrong (#66 Meyer Shank Racing Honda) qualified third: “It’s a great result today for us and the whole MSR team to lock out the second row. Our Honda engine has been giving us good power all weekend, and that’s really shown. But, tomorrow we have our work cut out for us. It’s a long race, you can’t win it in the first corner, and we’re going to have to do everything right tomorrow if we want to beat Alex.”
