Sheldon Creed won the pole for the Pennzoil 250 at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, edging Carson Kvapil by 0.02 seconds with a qualifying lap of 53.069 seconds in the No. 00 Haas Factory Team Chevrolet. Sam Mayer locked in third as the Haas duo led the top qualifiers, with Jeremy Clements and Taylor Gray making up the rest of the top five. Cup Series regulars Chase Elliott and Ross Chastain qualified seventh and eighth, while series points leader Justin Allgaier was slated to start 13th in the 100-lap, 250-mile race that features three stages of 30, 30, and 40 laps. The event will be broadcast nationally on the CW Network and IMS Radio, with coverage beginning around 3 p.m. Central, and is set to feature a competitive mix of Haas teammates and other top teams, including multiple Toyota entries in the field. Creed’s pole marks another strong IMS run for Haas, as the team showcased speed across single-lap qualifying and positions for a high-stakes race around the famed Brickyard.
