IndyCar: 2024 Road America qualifying updates, full starting lineup
By Asher Fair
For the fifth consecutive weekend, there is on-track IndyCar action on the schedule, this time at Road America.
The 14-turn, 4.048-mile (6.515-kilometer) terrain road course in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin was reintroduced to the IndyCar schedule in 2016 after having not hosted any races since 2007, and it has hosted races every year since. It even hosted a doubleheader in 2020 as a result of other tracks being removed from the calendar due to COVID-19-related restrictions.
Sunday afternoon's XPEL Grand Prix at Road America is scheduled to be a 55-lap race, and it is the final race on the schedule before the series finally has a week off. IndyCar has not had an off weekend since the weekend prior to the race at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course, which kicked off the month of May festivities at the "Racing Capital of the World".
Last year, Andretti Global's Colton Herta started from the pole position at Road America, but it was Chip Ganassi Racing's Alex Palou who took the checkered flag, giving him the second of his three straight victories en route to his second championship.
