Colton Herta (#26 Andretti Autosport Honda) pole qualifier:
“It was just a great car. We’ve been working at it the whole time. Like I said earlier, this place [Road America] with the repave is not easy. To have a car that was stable enough to really attack in the last Fast Six [final qualifying] was impressive. Big props to Nathan O’Rourke, my engineer, the whole Gainbridge Honda crew. It’s been way too long this year for us to get a pole, so it’s nice to finally get one!”
Alex Palou (#10 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda) qualified third:
“It’s a bit disappointing, with the big crash that we had in [morning] practice. We put a lot of work into [repairing] it, not just the #10 car, but all of the Ganassi guys. But, they made it! They gave us the car that we needed to fight for pole. We missed a little bit—but honestly, missing so much of practice 2, I thought was going to affect us a bit more. But, good to be starting third. I’m going to be following Colton on the grid and hopefully we can have a Honda 1-2 after lap one!”
