IndyCar returns to Portland International Raceway after a brief hiatus, set to take place this weekend. The raceway, located near the Columbia Stough, spans 268 acres with the track itself being 1.97 miles long. Before its conversion to a race track, the area was once a town for ship workers during WWII, which was later submerged by a flood, obliterating the town of Vanport.
The race has hosted over 50 Motocross events and 32 IndyCar races. Last season, Will Power secured the victory with Team Penske, while Christian Lundgaard finished second, and Alex Palou rounded out the podium. The upcoming race has seen significant team changes, with Felix Rosenqvist leaving Meyer Shank to join Arrow McLaren. He secured pole position with a time of 58.4828.
Palou aims to extend his championship lead, while Power seeks his first victory podium of the season with Andretti. Arrow McLaren drivers Lundgaard and Scott Dixon face a challenging qualifying session, starting from the back of the field. The green flag will wave at 4 p.m. EST, live on FOX, marking the start of another thrilling episode in IndyCar history.
