Qualifying for the IndyCar Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach concluded this afternoon and Felix Rosenqvist topped the tables setting a 1m6.017s lap in his No. 60 AutoNation/SiriusXM Honda. “It was hard,” Rosenqvist said. “Honestly, I didn’t think I had it because I had a big tank-slapper out of (Turn) 5. This is a hard-fought one. It doesn’t come easy. Every lap out there, you’re flirting with the walls. That was a fun one.”
The finish marked Rosenqvist’s first pole position with MSR. Will Power finished behind by a slim margin of 0.0039s. “Just getting into the (Firestone) Fast Six again is a big deal for me,” Power said. “I’ve been working hard on my qualifying. Been quick all year in practice, so super-stoked to transfer. Obviously, it’s a bit (tough) when you miss out by that much, but Felix must have done a phenomenal lap. I couldn’t pick anywhere where I made a mistake. It was about as good as I can do. Cool to get the Verizon car on the front row again. It’s been a long time. We can certainly win from there.”
