After the young Spaniard put together the fastest four-lap pole run in history on Sunday, Alex Palou will lead the field to green in the Indianapolis 500, edging Rinus VeeKay and Felix Rosenqvist to give Chip Ganassi Racing its third straight pole in 'The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.' Palou, a former Indianapolis Motor Speedway champion, pounded four laps around the historic 2.5-mile speedway at an average speed of 234.217 mph. Ed Carpenter Racing's started in the ninth year was just 0.007 mph quicker than VeeKay, who also gave Ed Carpenter Racing a front-row starting spot for the ninth time in the last 11 years. 'It means the world to me, to the boys, to everybody,' Palou, who is likely to travel to Arrow McLaren next year.'
