Alex Pow takes pole and abandoned ins David Marcus Day-2025 Indy Car Milwaukee 250 Qualifying Results

The relentless Alex Pallow ruined David Marcus’ qualifying on Saturday after setting a ferocious average of 162.971 mph, indicating that Pallow is not finished yet despite the championship being over.

The last car to run thanks to Oval’s reverse championship order ride was the only lap that entered the territory with the Palou’s first lap time of 163.297 at 163 mph.

Marcus had set an incredible time to compete for himself for his first pole position on a weekend that appears to be extremely important for his future drive at IndyCar.

Lined up to move to Team Pensuke in 2026, Marcus showed egg-raising speeds at an average of 162.256 miles, after Team Pensuke’s Scott McLaughlin rose the bar on the second fastest average than interim pole sitter Joseph Newgarden.

Tension was touched on the AJ Foyt Pitbox as Patoward missed pole slightly at just under 0.2mph.

Paloo wiped a smile from Marcus’s face, reassuring that he was still at the top, reminding him that he was still a beat driver.

Marcus is clearly annoyed at the slight denial of his first pole.

“He beats. As soon as I saw the first lap, I saw him come out of the four of them.

“Again, it’s a good streak for us as we’re starting from that front row here in Milwaukee, but we still have a lot to do from there.”

Malukas is one of the fastest drivers in the oval, including a second-place finish in the Indy 500.

Connor Daly, who finished third in Practice 1, was the first driver to break the 160 mph average line, setting 160.181.

Josef Newgarden tracked down a few minutes after Daly, and why he placed himself on top of Newgarden’s driver, reminded him of why he is known as one of the best, as he averaged 160.330 miles and placed a huge gap between him and second place.

However, as the average continued, both New Garden and Daily slowly went down the orders, earning the eighth and ninth qualifications.

New Garden teammate Scott McLaughlin defeated the Hammer after setting 161.758, more than a mile faster than New Garden.

David Malukas was on track after the Penske driver. Seeing what McLaughlin did, he quickly bested it with a burning average of 162.256.

McLaughlin remained in the front pack throughout the session, finishing fourth overall.

Colton Hertha tried to keep up with Marcus’ pace to continue, but he spun the car on his first flying lap.

Luckily, away from the wall, Hertha averaged 112.717 mph after the lap.

“I don’t think I saved it,” joked Hertha after it was suggested that she did well to avoid it from the wall.

“It’s really frustrating for me. (We) didn’t actually do.

“It was a patch that teammate Marcus could use and I think he had a better line. I went to his line for qualifying.

“The car just didn’t like the patch, which makes me feel frustrated.

“We really didn’t find anything, so we don’t really know what to say right now. We did that in qualifying now, so we need to do a big 180 here.”

With the average set, Hertha doesn’t start at the end thanks to a hit on the wall on the first flying lap.

Turned into one of the oval corners, the rear or Rosenqvist Meyershank came out to the Swedish driver and placed him on the wall with a huge impact.

Rosenqvist was the highest average qualifier with eggs before that crash.

Scott Dixon and Kaifin Simpson will be taking a sixth place grid penalty for tomorrow’s race as Chip Ganasi chose to change Honda engines for both drivers.

Simpson, who went before Dixon, was unable to compile the average and initially sat in seventh place after an average of 158.132. He starts slinking orders and goes to 26th place.

Dixon threatened to challenge McLaughlin and Marcus at the top of the field, but could only set an average of 160.951.

After a strong fourth place result in Portland, Graham Lahar came to Milwaukee with a bounce on his step and he translated it into the track.

In fact, Rahal was not compromised to an average of 160 mph after setting 159.995 mph.

He was still a little further from the top two of Daly and New Gardens back then, but his impressive results would make him 10th in tomorrow’s race.

Rasmussen was also impressed by the oval once again as he became the third driver on a day with an average of over 160 mph at 160.158.

Milliseconds since the Daly era, he is in ninth place.

Callum Ilott, who had a hot streak in the end, dies at the end after his car seemed deeply uncomfortable driving.

Ilott averaged 156.460 mph as he couldn’t feel he could put the throttle down.

When asked what he could have done better, Ilott said, “Drive faster. I don’t know. That wasn’t surprising. We tried a different direction after FP1, and didn’t feel good, but let’s live and learn.”
