Defending NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion Alex Palou in the No.10 Ridgeline Lubricants DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda says that his session on Saturday was great as he claimed the pole position for Heat 2 at The Thermal Club.
Palou will lead his teammate Marcus Armstrong to the green and will be hoping that he can be in the hunt to win the $1 million Challenge later today.
That was great, looking forward to tomorrow. That’s the best starting position and I’m happy that after all that confusion with the Red Flag [following Marcus Ericsson’s crash] that we were still able to put a lap together. We only had 14 seconds [out of 40 seconds of “push to pass”] left after the Red, as we were using everything we had on the lap where it went red. So I’m pretty happy with our pace. The car is good, so we’re really looking forward to tomorrow.”
