Colton Herta took pole for Sunday's Ontario Honda Dealers Indy Toronto race with a sparkling lap at Exhibition Place to secure an Andretti Global lockout of the front row.

Herta will be joined on the front row by fellow Andretti driver Kyle Kirkwood, who admitted the pole-sitter – who also set the fastest time in both practice sessions – had 'obviously been the quickest driver all weekend long'.

A number of high-profile drivers failed to make the Fast 12 in the session, including championship contenders Pato O’Ward and Scott Dixon, while Alex Palou was relegated to 18th after being penalized for impeding O'Ward despite insisting he 'couldn’t really go anywhere'.

Meanwhile, Herta hailed his 'rocket ship' car in celebrating his 14th career pole, saying of the race on Sunday: "We just need to (do) the same. This (car) has been a rocket ship all weekend (and) really has (been) the past few races. Luck hasn’t turned our way for a win yet, and I’m hoping it’s here tomorrow."
