19:32
Palou makes his run

Average:

R1: 183.596

R2: 184.014

 

Newgarden keeps pole for Race One with the Spaniard to start fourth but Palou snatches pole for Race Two.

19:30
Kirkwood steps up

Average:

R1: 181.130

R2: 181.181

 

17th and 20th for Kirkwood; he had no practice running due to a crash so it was expected he would come into qualifying blind.

19:29
Pato O'Ward to do his runs

Average:

R1: 183.096

R2: 182.646

 

Fourth in R1 and fourth in R2. Fastest Arrow McLaren but looked to lack a little all over.

19:27
Mid-Ohio winner Dixon is on track

Average:

R1: 182.924

R2: 182.664

Fourth for R1 and seventh for R2. Impressive for a car  that looked a handful on the bumps.

19:26
Lundgaard starts his runs

Average:

R1: 179.975

R2: 180.920

 

Still getting used to ovals, Lundgaard sits in 17th for R1 and 18th for R2

19:24
Felix Rosenqvist is up

Average:

R1: 183.635

R2: 183.975

 

Rosenqvist dethrones Malukas for R2 and sits in third for R1. Malukas shows frustration on pitlane.

19:22
Marcus Armstrong is next

Average:

R1: 182.483

R2: 182.409

Seventh for R1 and eighth for R2. Solid result.

19:20
Herta takes to track

Average:

R1: 179.270

R2: 181.472

 

16th for R1 and 14th for R2.

19:19
What can Will do?

R1: 182.824

R2: 183.072

 

Power goes third for R1 and fourth for R2.

19:17
Ferrucci on track

Average: 

R1: 182.756

R2: 181.205

 

Wow, story of two halves here - Ferrucci goes fourth for R1 and 13th for R2. That's behind Daly in both.

19:15
Ferrucci is waiting to go next

Can he beat Daly today? There has been a lot of talk from him about beating the Juncos Holinger driver this weekend. Let's see if he can start well with that.

19:13
Recap: top three for both races so far

R1:

  1. Newgarden
  2. Daly
  3. Siegel

R2:

  1. Malukas
  2. Newgarden
  3. Siegel

Really impressive run by Siegel so far but lots of heavy hitters still to come.

19:12
"Handling like a forklift truck"

The car simply slips out from the rear around the first corner. It's tough and bumpy track at Iowa so wouldn't be surprised if that is what caused it.

19:10
Will we see McLaughlin in Race One?

McLaughlin's car is an absolute mess, it will be an impressive feat by Penske if they can get that car together of the Synk 275.

19:09
McLaughlin goes into the wall

To add to Penske's woes, McLaughlin has ended in the wall.

 

19:03
Newgarden not happy with result

Speaking to FS1, all Newgarden says is its "ok" and has very few words else to say. Clearly not confident in it.

19:00
Rossi on track

Average: 

R1: 181.939

R2: 181.846

18:58
Simpson looks to get back into top three

Average:

R1: 179.966

R2: 181.589

 

11th for Race One and 10th for Race Two. Return back to earth for Kyffin after Mid-Ohio.

18:57
Rasmussen on track

Average: 

R1: 181.107

R2: 181.681

 

Very off the pace of what we thought he could do. That's ninth in both races.
