What time is the IndyCar race today? Long Beach GP Schedule, Start Time & TV Channel
The IndyCar field heads to the Long Beach street circuit in California for the third race on the calendar. The sub-two-mile track will host the 27-car grid for a 90-lap race, with the track featuring bumpy asphalt for the entirety of its 11 turns.
A myriad of drivers on the current grid have been victorious at the fabled Long Beach Grand Prix. Moreover, this year's race will be even special as the circuit hosts its 50th-anniversary Grand Prix, and all of the 27 drivers will be eyeing to take the winner's trophy home.
Will Power topped the first practice session and showcased the strengths of Team Penske. However, the second practice session narrated a different tale as Arrow McLaren's Nolan Siegel topped the timing charts.
However, neither Team Penske nor Arrow McLaren bagged the pole position for the Golden Jubilee event. Andretti's Kyle Kirkwood shone through the intense pressure.
The 26-year-old claimed his second pole position around the temporary track. He secured his maiden victory at the 2023 event and will be in the prime position to repeat this feat.
Meanwhile, Colton Herta qualified P2, making it a front-row lockout for the Andretti outfit. Andretti driver Marcus Ericsson was also a part of the Fast Six, but was unable to mend ways to the top of the timing sheets and qualified fifth.
