IndyCar Milwaukee Mile 2 Lineup

  • On Saturday, August 29, 2026, Arrow McLaren driver Pato O'Ward and Chip Ganassi Racing driver Alex Palou earned pole positions for the Milwaukee Snap-On 250 double-header after grid penalties reshuffled the qualifying field.
  • Unapproved engine changes forced Palou, Team Penske driver Scott McLaughlin, and Team Penske driver David Malukas to serve nine-position grid penalties, dramatically shifting the starting lineup for Saturday's 250-lap race.
  • O'Ward inherited Saturday's pole after qualifying 4th, while Palou secured Sunday's top spot by turning an average speed of 164.658 mph on his second qualifying lap.
  • Despite being relegated to the fifth row for Saturday's race, Palou remains optimistic about his pace, noting the Milwaukee Mile provides sufficient laps to recover ground.
  • Driving a repaired Andretti Global car, Kyle Kirkwood qualified 22nd and 24th, forcing the championship contender to recover significant ground on the 1.015-mile oval this weekend.
