David Malukas, who was scheduled to serve a six-position grid penalty in the previous race in Nashville, will serve it here because he crashed in pre-qualifying practice at Nashville, forcing him to the rear of the field. Caio Collet is also serving a six-spot grid penalty for an excessive engine change.

\n

Here's the qualifying lineup for Only Bulls Grand Prix of Portland, a 110-lap race on the 12-turn, 1.964-mile road course.

Predictions for the IndyCar race at Portland from IndyStar's Zion Brown

\n
  • David Malukas, the runner-up in the points standings, has five podium finishes without a win. Can he rise to the top this weekend? "Because of the fiasco that sent Malukas to the hospital in Nashville, he'll still have to serve a six-spot grid penalty that was scheduled for Nashville because of an excessive engine change. I think starting three rows back will keep Malukas from breaking through in Portland."
  • Christian Lundgaard's average finish on road courses is 1.5. Where will he finish this weekend? "I say Lundgaard wins again. He finished second in Portland last year and has only upped his game since. That would be three road-course wins for Lundgaard this year."
