Pierson takes first career Indy NXT pole in Milwaukee
Pierson earned the pole with the fastest qualifying lap and will lead the field in Sunday’s Indy NXT race.
On Saturday, August 29, 2026, persistent rain halted the NTT IndyCar Series Snap-on Makers and Fixers 250 at the Milwaukee Mile after 90 laps, forcing a postponement until Sunday, August 30, 2026.
Heavy rainfall necessitated a red flag, as series officials conceded the event could not resume Saturday evening due to the lack of track lighting at the Milwaukee Mile.
Arrow McLaren's Pato O'Ward led the field when the race was suspended, while championship leader Alex Palou held a strong position before the delay.
O'Ward ultimately secured victory in the 250-lap event, with Scott McLaughlin finishing 2nd and Christian Lundgaard achieving a career-best 3rd place on an oval track.
State Fair Park and the series signed a five-year contract extension, ensuring racing will continue at the Milwaukee Mile through at least 2031.
