The IndyCar Series concludes a 6-week stretch of on-track action with a 55-lap race on the 14-turn, 4-mile Road America road course at Elkhart Lake, Wis. Rookie Linus Lundqvist earned his first career pole position as two-time Indianapolis 500 winner Josef Newgarden crashed out at the end of qualifying. He was uninjured.

Scott Dixon won a messy race on the streets of Detroit last weekend and leads the championship race. Alex Palou won the 2023 race at Elkhart Lake.
