Rosenqvist turned two laps at 221.110 mph in his Arrow McLaren SP Chevrolet, and the time stood as 16 drivers tried to knock him off the pole. Scott McLaughlin, winner of the season-opening race at St. Petersburg last month, was the final driver to qualify and just missed bumping the Swede from the top starting spot.
