Alex Palou is eyeing pole posi🌟tion after leading the first day of qualifying.

Three-time champi༺on Palou went fastest at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday.

“It’s tough cജonditions💎 out there,” Palou said. 

“Yesterday it was with the temperature; today it w𒀰as with the wind. The car has been real🌼ly good. 

"We were struggling this morning (in practice). I was 🎃unable to finish a four-lap (qualifying simulation) run. Now we were able to finish it qu🥃ite strongly.

“Super happy. I don’t know if there’s more (speed in the car), but there’s al꧃ways more. The line between more and too much is very thin here at IMS. We’ll see what we have for tomorrow.”

The top 12 from Saturday's qualifying progre🐭ss into Sunday's session.

Marco Andrett𝐆i, grandson of 1969 Indy 500 Mario Andretti, finished last.

Graham Rahal earned a guaranteed spot and said: “This day did🐽n’t start off well, but we found a lot and we improved a lot as this day went on.

“Our guys kept our coo🍒l today and head’s down. That beer’s going to taste good tonight. I was praying all day somehow this would happen.”

Colton Herta was involved in a big crash which flipped his car upside-down. He end💧ed up 29th.

"I’m fine🐭," Herta told Fox. "Luckily nowadays these crashes look scarier than they feel. Not to say that one felt good.

"Th💫e team’s going to be hard at work now trying to get the backup car ready. It’s going to be probably impossible to get out today.

"Terrible day for this to happen. It was kind of, there were no real signs leading to it. We were super happy with the car this morning, go 💦out and just loose, couldn’t even get lap one done.

"It sucks, but I’m good, keep going."
