IndyCar: Dixon tops final practice for GP of Portland

Posted by AR1 staff

Alex Palou won the pole for the GP of Portland in the #10 PNC Honda and his teammate Scott Dixon, in the #9 PNC Honda was fastest in final IndyCar practice after qualifying.

The session saw teams focus on race setups and the Ganassi team has the fastest cars in both qualifying and race setups.

Josef Newgarden, who had a horrible qualifying effort and will start only 18th, rebounded to go 2nd fastest in race setup.

The NTT INDYCAR SERIES paddock observed a moment of silence Saturday at 7:28 a.m. local time out of respect for the exact moment when the North Tower of the World Trade Center fell 20 years ago in New York. A call-out campaign for blood donations in partnership with the American Red Cross is underway, and a commemorative charitable pin bearing the motto “Together We Stand” is available for purchase online at the Official INDYCAR Shop. Teams and cars carried the logo Saturday.
