IndyCar Series champion Àlex Palou is set to start from fourth position in Sunday's race in Nashville, while his main rival, American Kyle Kirkwood, secured pole position. Palou, the current championship leader, will aim to extend his advantage in the twelfth race of the season.

Kirkwood of Andretti Global completed his qualifying laps on the oval with an average speed of 196.852 miles per hour. Palou, driving for Chip Ganassi, recorded an average speed of 196.050 mph. The second row will feature Josef Newgarden of Team Penske in second place, with his teammate Scott McLaughlin starting third, alongside Palou.

Palou currently leads the championship standings with 404 points. He holds a 56-point lead over Kirkwood, who is second with 348 points. The Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix in Nashville is a crucial event in the IndyCar calendar.

The race at Nashville Superspeedway is scheduled to begin at 17:30 local time on Sunday. It could potentially overlap with the FIFA World Cup final, should that match experience any delays or go into extra time.
