Louis Foster wins pole as racing gets underway at Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham

Louis Foster has won pole position at the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham, Ont.

Louis Foster claimed pole position at the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham, Ontario, for Sunday's IndyCar race through the city's downtown streets. Christian Lundgaard will follow Foster at the front of the grid. Practice sessions and qualifying were held in a single day due to the track's unfinished state and lack of safety inspections.

Foster also set the fastest practice lap, completing it in 1:14.1793 seconds. Alex Palou, who had the quickest time in the morning's first practice session, secured the second pole position. However, Palou suffered a setback after colliding with a wall in Turn 10, damaging his left rear wheel. He had won six IndyCar races in 2025, giving him a 110-point lead over Kyle Kirkwood in the driver standings.

Last year, Pato O'Ward secured his first career victory on the Toronto streets by starting from 10th position with a clever tire strategy.
