Robert Shwartzman claimed an unexpected pole position at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday.

A dramatic day started when Scott McLaughlin crashed heavily in practice, ruling him out of qualifying.

Then Team Penske's two cars both failed a technical inspection, during Fast 12.

As a result, McLaughlin starts the Indy 500 from 10th, Josef Newgarden is 11th, Will Power 12th.

IndyCar championship leader Alex Palou must settle for P6 on the Indy 500 starting grid.

Takuma Sato thought he'd pinched pole position until Shwartzman edged his speed.

Shwartzman will be the first rookie to start on pole at the Indy 500 in 43 years.

Rinus Veekay narrowly sneaked past Jacob Abel in Last Chance Qualifying to snare the final spot on the grid. Abel was eliminated and won't take part in the race.
