Pato O’Ward |
Pato O’Ward earned the Sukup “First in the Field" Award and his sixth Indy Lights pole of the season by running a two-lap average of 161.669 MPH around The Fastest Short Track on the Planet on Saturday.
O’Ward edged out his Andretti Autosport / Andretti-Steinbrenner Racing teammate Colton Herta for the pole.
“The track temp was a little different [from practice]," O’Ward said, “but all in all it felt pretty close to what the changes what we did in practice were, so I’m happy with that run but I need to make sure I stay there for the race."
The green flag for the Indy Lights Mazda Iowa 100 presented by Cooper Tires is set for 11:15 a.m. CT on Sunday, immediately prior to the Verizon IndyCar Series Iowa Corn 300.
