Wins Nashville Pole
IRL
August 30, 2025
O'Ward won the pole for the Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix NTT IndyCar Series race at Nashville Superspeedway on Saturday. He ran a two-lap average lap of 202.621 mph.
ANALYSIS
David Malukas would sit on provisional pole for a time and it would look like the young driver would take P1. However, O'Ward would go out late in the session and drop a monstrous two-lap average of over 202 mph to knock Malukas off the top of the scoring pylon. It was the Arrow McLaren star's seventh-career pole but first on an oval. O'Ward will be a top contender to win Sunday in Nashville.
