IndyCar Series Qualifying Set for May 3 at Barber Motorsports Park

The 2025 NTT IndyCar Series heads to Barber Motorsports Park in Alabama for the Children's of Alabama Indy Grand Prix, a track where qualifying is crucial due to a history of winners starting near the front. Scott McLaughlin of Team Penske, who won both the pole and the race in 2024, is among the favorites again as Team Chevy seeks its fourth consecutive victory at Barber. Christian Lundgaard, after multiple strong qualifying performances this season, has secured his third career IndyCar pole, signaling a competitive field. The 27-car field will be decided through a multi-round qualifying format, with the Fast Six shootout determining the pole winner. Team Chevy has dominated at Barber in recent years, winning nine of the last twelve races, thanks in part to strategic prowess and engineering in managing the technical challenges of the 17-turn course. The race will be broadcast on Fox, with streaming options available for fans.
