IndyCar: 2021 Gateway qualifying – Full starting lineup

The starting lineup for the fourth and final oval race of the 2021 IndyCar season is set following Saturday’s qualifying session.

The fourth and final oval race on the 16-race 2021 IndyCar calendar is scheduled to take place this evening at World Wide Technology Raceway and Gateway, and the qualifying session for this race, the Bommarito Automotive Group 500, was held earlier this afternoon.

Team Penske’s Will Power took his 63rd career pole position for this 260-lap race around the four-turn, 1.25-mile (2.198-kilometer) oval in Madison, Illinois, bringing him to within four of the great Mario Andretti’s all-time record of 67.

Power, who is coming off of his first win of the 2021 season at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course last Saturday afternoon, took his first pole position of the year by recording a two-lap average speed of 180.618 miles per hour behind the wheel of his #12 Chevrolet.
