Qualifying for the 2026 IndyCar race at Barber Motorsports Park is complete, view the full results below.
Ahead of qualifying, it was a question whether Scott McLaughlin would be able to partake. The Kiwi suffered a massive crash during second practice, which saw him go straight through the barrier at turn 1. Luckily, the #3 crew managed to fix the backup car, and McLaughlin was able to start in group 2.
Group 1’s session was halted after a big shunt by Will Power. Fortunately, the Ozzy could leave the car under his own power. Group 2’s session unfortunately saw McLaughlin eliminated.
Last round’s polesitter Marcus Ericsson failed to make the Fast 6, as did Josef Newgarden and Pato O’Ward.
In the final session, it was Álex Palou who took the pole head of David Malukas and Graham Rahal
