Chip Ganassi Racing’s Alex Palou enters this 90-lap race around the 17-turn, 2.38-mile (3.83-kilometer) Barber Motorsports Park natural terrain road course in Birmingham, Alabama as the reigning winner, having won the 2021 season opener at the track en route to securing his maiden title in his first year driving the #10 Honda.
The 26-car field, the largest field at Barber Motorsports Park since 2013 and tied for the largest at the venue since the track began hosting IndyCar races in 2010, is split up into two 13-car groups for the first round, based on practice results.
The fastest six drivers in each group advance to the second round, and the fastest six drivers in the second round advance to the Firestone Fast Six. These six drivers then battle for the pole position.
