Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing’s Takuma Sato in the No.75 Amada Honda will start next Sunday’s 109th running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge from second.
The two-time Indianapolis 500 winner set a four-lap average of 232.478MPH.
Speaking following qualifying, Sato said:
We made it! We’re back on the front row. I’m very, very happy for the team and very proud of everyone. The AMADA car was perfect. I was able to nail it with everything we had. Unfortunately, it was this close to Robert Schwartzman. Huge congrats to him. I’m very proud of HRC and Honda and proud to put them on the front row. I think we finally got the near perfect balance, got all of the pieces together, so huge credit to the team. I’m looking forward to the Indy 500.”
