Caio Collet Stays Fast, Sweeps Both Poles at Laguna Seca
Caio Collet pulled off a two-for-one deal Saturday, sweeping the poles for both races in the INDY NXT by Firestone Grand Prix of Monterey at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
Collet drove to his first and second poles of the season – and second and third in his career – in the INDYCAR development series, edging championship leader Dennis Hauger for the top spot in both 35-lap races. Race 1 starts at 4:30 p.m. ET today, with Race 2 taking the green flag at 1 p.m. ET Sunday (Both races FS1, FOX Sports app, INDYCAR Radio Network).

The pole winner has won the last 10 INDY NXT races at this picturesque 11-turn, 2.238-mile permanent road course adjacent to the Pacific Ocean, which bodes well for Collet. His first career victory, in July 2024 at Mid-Ohio, came from his only other career pole. He also won this season at Road America from the second starting spot.
'Very fortunate,' Collet said. 'It was a little too late in the championship, to be honest, to get our first pole, but better late than never. The team did a phenomenal job since yesterday.
'The car was quite tricky. I made a couple of little mistakes, but I was glad I could pull both laps together. It was a tough session, to be honest. I'm just happy to start on pole for both races.'
Collet, who led practice Friday, earned the top spot for the first race with his top lap of 1 minute, 13.2566 seconds in the No. 76 HMD Motorsports car. His second-best lap of 1:13.3283 was good enough for pole for Race 2.
Hauger recovered from a rare crash in practice Friday to qualify second for both races in the No. 28 Nammo car of Andretti Global with his top two laps of 1:13.3275 and 1:13.3585.
Josh Pierson will start third in both races in the No. 14 HMD Motorsports car after his best laps of 1:13.4363 and 1:13.4499.
The mirror-image starting lineups for both races ended starting with the fourth spot. Myles Rowe, winner of the most-recent race at Iowa Speedway, will start fourth in Race 1 after his best lap of 1:13.6423 in the No. 99 Abel Motorsports/Force Indy car. Lochie Hughes, second in championship points, will start fourth in Race 2 with his lap of 1:13.7569 in the No. 26 McGinley Clinic/USF Pro Championships machine of Andretti Global.
The third row in both races also featured a mixture of drivers. Callum Hedge will start fifth in both races after his best times of 1:13.5210 and 1:13.7659. Hughes will join Hedge in Row 3 for Race 1, while Rowe will start sixth in Race 2.
This is the second and final doubleheader of 2025. Hauger leads teammate Hughes by 76 points with five races remaining this season.

Shedeur Sanders Time In Cleveland? Browns To Reportedly Start QB In Preseason Opener
National Football League Shedeur Sanders Time In Cleveland? Browns To Reportedly Start QB In Preseason Opener Published Aug. 5, 2025 5:26 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link Shedeur Sanders is the Cleveland Browns' starting quarterback … for Week 1 of the preseason. The fifth-round rookie will start in the Browns' preseason opener against the Carolina Panthers on Friday, reported. Sanders is also reportedly expected to get first-team reps during Wednesday's joint practice with the Panthers. The Browns' decision to start Sanders in their preseason opener comes as they've been dealing with multiple injuries at quarterback. Kenny Pickett and third-round rookie Dillon Gabriel both recently suffered hamstring injuries, while the Browns plan to sit Joe Flacco for Friday's game. As a result of the recent injuries to Pickett and Gabriel, the Browns signed quarterback Tyler Huntley on Tuesday. If Sanders takes the field with the Browns' starting offense on Wednesday, it'll mark the first time in training camp he's taken first-team reps. He's practiced with the second- and third-team offenses in camp, and he was listed as the fourth-string quarterback when the Browns released their first unofficial depth chart on Monday. Sanders was also briefly sidelined in camp due to injury. He didn't participate in team drills in Saturday's practice because of arm soreness, but was back in team drills for Monday's practice. ADVERTISEMENT While Sanders hasn't played Cleveland's top offensive unit yet, he has gotten some reps against his team's top defensive unit. He took snaps with the second-team offense against the first-team defense in the Browns' practice on July 30, completing 2 of 3 passes. The Browns haven't named a starting quarterback yet. However, the 40-year-old Flacco is viewed as the favorite for the job, receiving the most first-team reps to this point. The fact that he's sitting out the preseason opener might also be an indicator that Flacco is the favorite for the job. As for Sanders, he's likely battling for a roster spot based on his placement on the unofficial depth chart and his practice reps. When sharing why he told his father, Deion Sanders, why he doesn't want him at Browns practice yet, Sanders told reporters that he doesn't feel he's where he needs to be with his play quite yet. "I don't want him coming to see me right now because I want to get to where I want to go, then for him to see me," Sanders told reporters on Monday. "I don't want him to come and see me get a couple reps, and he is cheering like a good dad. Like, nah, you can't be proud of me right now. I got to get to where I'm going, and I know it's a lot I got to do to get there. "It's kind of like I just want everything that I'm doing is just focus on this time, and I don't want no distractions because we know how the media, we know how everybody would take it and take away from the team, just from him being my own dad showing up. So, it is a gift and a curse at the same time." Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
