LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) — Felix Rosenqvist’s career turnaround continued Saturday when the Swede won Meyer Shank Racing its first ever pole in IndyCar by barely edging Will Power for the top starting spot at the Long Beach Grand Prix.
Rosenqvist is in his first season with his third IndyCar team and has proven to be fast every time he gets in the MSR car. He qualified second in the season-opening race, and then qualified first for his heat race in last month’s $1 million exhibition.
“I feel like I have a team behind me for sure. I feel like we are making the right changes to the car,” Rosenqvist said. “We are really on it with Meyer Shank Racing.”
Now he needs to convert it into a victory, which would be just the second ever for Meyer Shank Racing. The team won the 2021 Indianapolis 500 with Helio Castroneves.
