The Andretti Autosport driver climbed from sixth on the grid to deliver his first podium for his new team and the fourth of his 19-race-old IndyCar career.
Having fended off threats from Palou and Grosjean, the Penske driver took the team's third consecutive win after a crash-strewn race.
Álex Palou saldrá a las calles de Long Beach con la tercera plaza en parrilla, al lado de Rosenqvist y por detrás del Andretti de Herta y el Penske de Newgarden. Los Andretti, con tres coches en Fast 6, se mostraron en el urbano californiano como los rivales a batir y dominaron con solvencia todas las rondas clasificatorias, en las que el español fue de menos a más y logró plaza en segunda línea, entre los mejores, lo que le coloca con claras opciones de cara a la carrera del domingo (21:35).
Alexander Rossi laid down the first marker in the third segment of qualifying with 66.0, his closest opponent being Josef Newgarden and Felix Rosenqvist after their first runs.

Pagenaud, the 2016 Long Beach winner, clocked a 1m07.1991s in the session, eclipsing two-time Long Beach winner Alexander Rossi of Andretti Autosport by 0.4021s. Pagenaud's best time was two seconds quicker than Colton Herta's first practice time from last year's Long Beach in September.
The team struggled in qualifying, with Dalton Kellett, Kirkwood and JR Hildebrand only 22nd, 23rd and 26th on the speed charts. However, in second practice Kirkwood was 15th with his race setup, and overnight the team made further progress.
Team Penske-Chevrolet’s Scott McLaughlin took less than a lap to get around the outside of polesitter Felix Rosenqvist of Arrow McLaren SP-Chevy, while Will Power initially dismissed Takuma Sato’s Dale Coyne Racing with RWR-Honda to gain third.
