Notes:  
Will Power lead Team Penske’s qualifying efforts for Saturday’s INDYCAR Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Road Course, kicking off the month of May at the legendary track.  Power was fastest in the morning practice and was the only Team Penske car to qualify for the Firestone Fast Six in the afternoon’s qualifying session.  Unfortunately, the driver of the No. 12 Verizon 5G Chevrolet could muster no better than sixth in that final session for tomorrow’s 85-lap event.  Simon Pagenaud continued to make strides in his 2019 season, turning in the eighth-quickest time in the afternoon’s qualifying session in the No. 22 Menards Chevrolet.  Series points leader Josef Newgarden (No. 2 Fitzgerald USA Chevrolet) and Helio Castroneves (No. 3 Pennzoil Chevrolet) failed to make it out of the first round and will start 13th and 15th respectively.

 
Coverage:
The INDYCAR Grand Prix at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway will air Saturday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. ET on NBC, with radio coverage on the INDYCAR Radio Network.
