Reigning Winner Palou Claims Second Career '500' Pole

Alex Palou will start the defense of his 2025 Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge victory from the best spot possible in this year's race -- the pole.

Four-time and reigning NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion Palou earned his second career pole for "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" in a dramatic Firestone Fast Six session Sunday afternoon at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, winning the NTT P1 Award and a $100,000 bonus with his four-lap average speed of 232.248 mph in the No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda.

Palou, who also won the "500" pole in 2023, earned his 15th NTT P1 Award in the series.

Joining Palou on the front row for the 110th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge on Sunday, May 24 are Alexander Rossi in the No. 20 Java House Chevrolet of Ed Carpenter Racing (231.990) and David Malukas in the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet (231.877).
