Robert Shwartzman, a 25-year-old rookie driver for Prema Racing, has made history by securing the pole position for the Indianapolis 500, the first rookie to do so since 1983. Initially pursuing a career in Formula 1, Shwartzman recently transitioned to IndyCar with Prema Racing, an Italian team debuting this season. His qualifying performance topped Takuma Sato and came as part of a surprising result amid the disqualification of Team Penske cars, setting up for an anticipated and competitive race ahead.
"Honestly, it feels like I'm dreaming. I just had it in my dreams when I was going how would it feel to do such a good job in quali."
"Rookie on pole with Shwartzman -- how wild does that get? New team. I didn't see that coming at all," said Dixon, the 2008 winner.
