Blomqvist lands Indy pole for MSR Acura as lightning halts GTD quals
Pole-sitter Tom Blomqvist powered Meyer Shank Racing’s Acura ARX-06 to fastest time at the TireRack Battle on the Bricks in weather-uncertain Indianapolis conditions, aided by strategic tire management; GTD Pro and GTD qualifying were canceled by lightning, while Jeremy Clarke grabbed the LMP2 pole and narrowed the points gap. The notebook also notes Nico Müller’s return with JDC-Miller, possible Porsche Penske seat talk, Ralf Aron’s Lone Star Racing link, IMSA’s test/budget considerations and a tribute to Matt Dalton as teams eye Petit Le Mans. Sunday’s crowd includes Porsche Carrera Cup and Lamborghini Super Trofeo races, with the TireRack Battle broadcast on NBC and IMSA YouTube."
