IndyCar: 2024 Barber qualifying updates, full starting lineup
By Asher Fair
It took six weeks for the second official points race of the 2024 IndyCar season to be run after the season opener on the streets of St. Petersburg, Florida. But following race number two on the streets of Long Beach, California, there is no such break this time around.
Action is scheduled to pick right back up at Barber Motorsports Park with what is set to be the second of seven on-track weekends over an eight-week stretch that includes the month of May at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
The Children's of Alabama Indy Grand Prix is scheduled to be a 90-lap race around the 17-turn, 2.38-mile (3.83-kilometer) natural terrain road course in Birmingham, Alabama, which has hosted IndyCar races since 2010 (but not in 2020). Team Penske's Scott McLaughlin is the reigning race winner.
McLaughlin won from fourth place on the grid a year ago, which is actually the fourth lowest starting position of a Barber winner in 13 races. The polesitter has won the race five times, but it hasn't happened since 2019 when Takuma Sato won. The average starting position of Barber race winners is 3.15.
