Hindman Takes Second Consecutive Pole for RS1 at Indy

Trent Hindman took his second straight IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge pole position ahead of this afternoon’s Indianapolis Motor Speedway 120 aboard the No. 28 RS1 Porsche 718 GT4 RS Clubsport he shares with Stevan McAleer.

As the only driver to dip below the one-minute and thirty second mark, Hindman’s 1:29.933 was good enough to outpace Team TGM’s Paul Holton by 0.583 seconds.

The initial margin between the two was just over three-tenths before the RS1 driver improved on his already pace-setting time.

Nate Cicero brought his No. 13 McCumbee McAleer Racing Ford Mustang GT4 up to third on the timing sheets with Michael de Quesada’s No. 69 Motorsports In Action McLaren Artura GT4 fourth quickest.

Kellymoss with Riley’s Michael McCarthy rounded out the top-five in his Porsche.

Mid-Ohio winner Todd Coleman went off at Turn 7 just before the checkered flag but appeared to continue without major incident.

Dai Yoshihara claimed the TCR class pole position for Montreal Motorsports in a red flag-impacted qualifying.

Multiple TCR cars spent time the top of the times over the course of the 15-minute session, with Yoshihara making numerous improvements, before ultimately setting his 1:33.116 benchmark lap time in his No. 93 Montreal Motorsport Group Honda Civic FK7 TCR before the red flag effectively ended the session.

Chris Miller’s No. 17 Unitronic/JDC-Miller MotorSports Audi RS 3 LMS TCR finished 0.111 seconds down on the Japanese driver’s time, with the No. 89 HART FL5-model Honda of Tyler Chambers third fastest.

The Bryan Herta Autosport entry of Preston Brown qualified fourth, with the No. 55 Gou Racing Audi completing the top-five.

The No. 73 Racers Edge Motorsports Honda of Daniel Wu went off track at Turn 6 just before the red flag was flown for Taylor Hagler’s stricken No. 77 BHA Hyundai Elantra N TCR at Turn 12.

As a result of bringing out the red, Hagler lost her two fastest laps, despite having setting times near the top prior to her off-course excursion.

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway 120 is slated for 1:05 p.m. EDT with live streaming coverage available on Peacock and IMSA Radio.
