Herta claims pole at Laguna Seca as Palou eyes IndyCar title

MONTEREY, Calif. — Colton Herta won the pole at Laguna Seca for the second-consecutive race and will try Sunday to tie his father as a two-time winner at the rolling California road course.

Two of Bryan Herta’s four career victories came at Laguna Seca, in 1998 and 1999. “We think we have a good shot at it, we’ll just wait and see what brings.” The championship contenders were next as only points leader Alex Palou and second-place driver Pato O’Ward advanced to the final qualifying round.
