IndyCar championship leader Alex Palou of Chip Ganassi Racing was the only driver in the top six in the point standings to make it to the Firestone Fast Six in Saturday's qualifying session for the Children's of Alabama Indy Grand Prix at Barber Motorsports Park.

And he ended up on top, posting a lap time of 1:07.2918 around the 17-turn, 2.38-mile (3.83-kilometer) natural terrain road course in Birmingham, Alabama. It marked the fourth time in the final 40 seconds of the Firestone Fast Six the provisional pole changed hands, and the driver of the No. 10 Honda held onto it.

Set to start alongside Palou, who got his first career IndyCar win at Barber in 2021, is two-time reigning Barber winner Scott McLaughlin of Team Penske.

Here is the full starting lineup for Sunday's 90-lap race, race number five on the 17-race 2025 schedule.
