Colton Herta won the 12th pole of his IndyCar career on Saturday at the Detroit Grand Prix, finishing ahead of defending champion Alex Palou and Indy 500 winner Josef Newgarden. Herta, who crashed last weekend in Indianapolis, finished only third in his first-round qualifying group, but he topped the Fast 12 and Fast Six rounds at the 1.

Palou won last year in the first race on the streets of Detroit after years of racing on nearby Belle Isle. Kyle Kirkwood spun with 43 seconds left in the Fast Six, sending the other five cars into the pits before an extra timed lap. However, none of the drivers could get enough heat in the tires to challenge.Pato O’Ward looks to bounce back from Indy 500 heartbreaker with a winning run at Detroit Grand Prix“I knew it was going to be tough to beat Colton,” Kirkwood said of his Andretti teammate. “I probably should have settled for a strong second, but you never think that way when you are out there.

O’Ward, who finished second in the Indy 500 after Newgarden’s last-lap pass, caused a red flag after stalling midway through the session, dropping him to 12th.
