IndyCar: 2024 Portland qualifying updates, full starting lineup
By Asher Fair
After returning from the four-week break due to NBC's coverage of the Summer Olympics in Paris, France last weekend at World Wide Technology Raceway at Gateway, IndyCar is now in the midst of a stretch of four races in 16 days.
Race number two of that stretch is the BitNile.com Grand Prix of Portland, which is scheduled to take place on Sunday afternoon at Portland International Raceway.
This 110-lap race around the 12-turn, 1.967-mile (3.166-kilometer) natural terrain road course in Portland, Oregon is the 14th of 17 races on the 2024 schedule, and it is the sixth and final road course race.
Since Portland returned to the IndyCar schedule in 2018, the race has been won from as far back as 20th place, but three of the five winners have started on the front row, including two from the pole position.
Chip Ganassi Racing's Alex Palou, who won the 2021 race from the pole position en route to his first title, won last year's race from fifth on the grid to secure his second title.
