The second half of the 18-race 2026 NTT IndyCar Series is set to begin this Sunday afternoon with the XPEL Grand Prix at Road America, the longest track on the schedule.
Sunday's race is scheduled to be a 55-lap race around the 14-turn, 4.048-mile (6.515-kilometer) natural terrain road course in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin. None of the eight most recent races at the track have been won from pole.
Chip Ganassi Racing's Alex Palou is a three-time Road America winner, having won in every odd-numbered year since 2021, after securing his first career IndyCar podium finish in only his third career series start back in 2020. He has won from fifth, third, and second on the grid.
IndyCar will not use the single-car qualifying format for the Firestone Fast Six since Road America is a road course, not a street course. This format, which debuted on the streets of Arlington, Texas earlier this season, was only implemented for all subsequent street course races.
Can a polesitter finally win at Road America for the first time since Josef Newgarden in 2018? Follow along with our live qualifying updates from Road America.
