Grosjean and Andretti team-mate Colton Herta have locked out the front row while another Andretti car, that of series sophomore Kyle Kirkwood, will start from the third row.
Former Formula 1 ace Grosjean, who took a pole position in his rookie IndyCar season with Dale Coyne Racing in 2021, was delighted to deliver his first P1 for Michael Andretti, but said substantial improvements to his car started last summer. They were then proven worthy in pre-season testing at Sebring and Thermal Club.
