Arrow McLaren’s Christian Lundgaard knocked teammate Pato O'Ward off the top of the leaderboard at the last moment to capture pole for Sunday’s IndyCar round at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course.
After a delay of two hours, 33 minutes due to repeated lightning delays, impending free agent Lundgaard saved his best for last and delivered a flying lap of 1m04.839s, dethroning O’Ward by 0.0253s on the 2.258-mile, 13-turn natural-terrain road course. It’s the first pole of the season for Lundgaard, and fourth of his career.
