IndyCar: 2024 Long Beach qualifying updates, full starting lineup
By Asher Fair
After a six-week championship hiatus following the 2024 IndyCar season-opening race on the streets of St. Peterburg, Florida, action is set to resume this weekend on the streets of Long Beach, California, and there is just one more scheduled off weekend from now until mid-June.
The series did run a race at Thermal Club four weeks ago, but that race was an exhibition race. Team Penske's Josef Newgarden, the winner in St. Petersburg, remains the points leader heading into this Sunday afternoon's Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, despite the fact that it was Chip Ganassi Racing's Alex Palou who won at Thermal Club.
Andretti Global's Kyle Kirkwood is the reigning winner of this weekend's 85-lap race around the 11-turn, 1.968-mile (3.167-kilometer) temporary street circuit after taking his first pole position, dominating the race, and securing his first career win last April.
Who will prevail in round two on the 17-race schedule? Keep tabs on qualifying to see who will start where on Sunday.
