INDIANAPOLIS – Gresham Wagner earned his second-career pole position in the Battery Tender Global Mazda MX-5 Cup presented by BFGoodrich Tires at Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Thursday. He will share the front row for Friday’s race with Michael Carter. I think that’s what you have to do to be fast on a single lap here.”. Wagner demolished the previous qualifying lap record (1:44.1367 seconds set in 2017 by Patrick Gallagher) with a pole time of 1:41.5506 seconds. Carter has raced at this circuit previously, while Thomas has not, although he is an Indiana native. “I think you need to commit to your line, wherever that might be, not be moving under braking, and really just assert yourself down to the apex,” he said. “I think you always have to race without a bunch of ‘what ifs’ in your head,” Wagner explained.
