INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Team Penske swept the top three spots in qualifying for the Indianapolis 500 on Saturday, with Will Power at the top of the list, giving a team under scrutiny a solid shot at winning the pole for “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.”
Kyle Larson also qualified for his first career Indianapolis 500, making the Fast 12 and putting him alongside the Penske trio in going for the pole Sunday. Larson is the fifth driver to attempt the Indy 500 and Coca-Cola 600 on the same day, and he could get a dry run by following his pole run with a trip to NASCAR’s All-Star race in North Carolina on Sunday night.
Larson is joined by two other cars from Arrow McLaren, one from Ed Carpenter Racing, one from Meyer Shank Racing, one from Andretti Global, two-time winner Takuma Sato of Rahal Letterman Lanigan and Santino Ferrucci of A.J. Foyt Racing in the pole shootout. That makes seven different teams comprising the Fast 12.
