The poles sitter for the first Indy Pro 2000 Grand Prix Of Road America Presented By Cooper Tires Honoring First Responders, Danial Frost, has been disqualified for breach of rule 14.36.6.

That moves Canadian Devlin DeFrancesco to the top spot, and an inside front row start for his first race in the series. Reigning USF2000 champion Braden Eves will join him on the front row.

The rule that the Turn 3 Motorsport team violated states:

14.36.6. All six (6) gear sets must remain in the gearbox. Additionally, reverse gear must be functional at all Events and the Driver must be able to engage it from the cockpit. Either 6th gear may be used, but the 20/22 gear set is mandatory at the INDY GP and Road America Events. The only approved gear ratios are:
Gear Ratio
1st 12/34 2.83
2nd 15/30 2.00
3rd 20/32 1.60
4th 23/32 1.39
5th 22/27 1.23
6th 25/28 1.12
6th 20/22 1.10
