Pierson takes first career Indy NXT pole in Milwaukee

Pierson set the fastest qualifying lap and beat three drivers with grid penalties to secure the front row for Sunday’s Indy NXT race.

  • Persistent rain forced IndyCar officials to suspend the Snap-on Makers and Fixers 250 at the Milwaukee Mile in West Allis, Wisconsin, after 90 laps on Saturday, Aug. 29, with 160 laps remaining.
  • Light showers beginning on lap 65 intensified by lap 90, forcing the red flag as rainfall intensity escalated across the 1.015-mile oval throughout Saturday's race.
  • Arrow McLaren driver Pato O'Ward led when officials halted competition, with Meyer Shank Racing's Felix Rosenqvist in second and ECR's Alexander Rossi in third.
  • Morning rain forced organizers to reschedule the restart from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET on FS1 Sunday, with the second race following at 1 p.m. on Fox.
  • State Fair Park and IndyCar signed a five-year extension securing racing through at least 2031, though this marks the second weather-delayed race of the season.
