Foster Takes Pole for IndyCar's Inaugural Race at Markham
Louis Foster won pole after a one-day qualifying format forced by canceled track sessions and left teams chasing setup time on the new street course.
- On Saturday, Louis Foster of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing-Honda captured pole position for the inaugural Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham, finishing qualifying in 1:13.2383 seconds.
- Organizers canceled Friday's track sessions because the course remained incomplete and had not undergone safety inspections, forcing all practice and qualifying to compress into Saturday.
- Alex Palou set the fastest time in morning practice with a 1:14.9915 lap but crashed at Turn 10 during qualifying, leaving him 12th; Foster remarked, "Well, I mean, it made my life easier today."
- Christian Lundgaard will join Foster on the front row for Sunday's race, joking, "I started first in '23 and finished first, so by that logic I'll finish second."
- Sunday's grid also features Scott McLaughlin starting third, while Josef Newgarden will start at the back after a Q1 red flag-causing shunt in downtown Markham, Ontario.
