IndyCar Qualifying Results: Music City Grand Prix start order as Palou relegated with penalty

Will Power has kept himself in with a realistic chance of securing the 2024 IndyCar Series title coming into Sunday's finale, putting his car fourth on the grid.

Championship leader Alex Palou was already facing a nine-place grid penalty for an unsanctioned engine change, and could only set the 15th fastest two-lap average when he made it out onto the track – meaning he'll start 24th.

Power needs to finish on the podium to have any chance of winning the title, with Palou out of the top 10, both of which look like realistic prospects heading into the final race of the season in Nashville.

Kyle Kirkwood, Josef Newgarden and Felix Rosenqvist will be the cars starting ahead of Power, the former taking his first pole of the season with a blistering two-lap run at a 201.520mph average.
