McLaughlin set the fastest-ever qualifying effort for the Indy 500 in his four-lap run, clocking in at a 234.220 mph average. Power and Newgarden notched spots two and three, respectively, marking the first time Team Penske has swept the front row since 1988.
Alex Palou sits at the top of the 2024 IndyCar standings with 152 points ahead of Power (140 points), Scott Dixon (127 points) and Colton Herta (127 points). McLaughlin (88 points) will try and boost his sixth-place rank from the front of the pack this weekend, but he'll have to jump Felix Rosenqvist (107 points) in fifth.
