Alex Palou completed qualifying today more than a mile an hour faster than the second place car of David Malukas. Does this mean he's a lock to win his fifth title? Qualifying isn't racing, but if he manages to take the win from the pole, it could signal the beginning of the end of the championship for 2026. The Penske cars looked strong with Scott McLaughlin just .375 mph slower than his teammate, Malukas, and Josef Newgarden another .4 behind that. We also saw strong performances from Indy 500 winner, Felix Rosenqvist, and his teammate Marcus Armstrong. And of course, Kyle Kirkwood and Scott Dixon are in a strong position to mount a challenge. If anyone can beat Alex to the checkered flag, then it's game on. If not, it's going to be deja vu all over again.
