. FRosenqvist scores his fourth IndyCar pole, his second straight at TXMotorSpeedway
Arrow McLaren’s Felix Rosenqvist was the only driver to run a 220mph average in qualifying for the PPG 375 at Texas Motor Speedway to claim his second consecutive pole here.Team owner/driver Ed Carpenter, in his first outing of the 2023 season, set the bar with an average of 218.375mph over two laps, with a 1mph difference between Laps 1 and 2. This was immediately beaten by rookie Benjamin Pedersen in the AJ Foyt Racing car with a solid 219.100 average.
Jack Harvey’s average of 216.103 suggested that the Rahal Letterman Lanigan team’s struggles in first practice had not been misleading, and Harvey saw his Lap 1 to Lap 2 drop-off was 1.8mph. Arrow McLaren’s Felix Rosenqvist, last year’s Texas pole-winner, then delivered a 220.264mph average, over 1mph clear of Herta, which survived an assault from last year’s winner, Josef Newgarden.
David Malukas claimed provisional fourth in the Dale Coyne Racing with HMD car, but there were still nine cars left to run. One of these was 2021 champion Alex Palou, who slid in just ahead of him and just 0.028mph behind Sato.
