Will Power won his fifth pole of the season and fellow Team Penske driver Josef Newgarden qualified second for the Indy 200 at the Mid-Ohio Sport Car Course.

Australian IndyCar driver Power won the Fast 6 qualifier on Saturday with a lap of 1 minute, 4.1720 seconds as Chevrolet took the top two spots.

For Power, it was his third pole at Mid-Ohio and the 49th of his career to tie Bobby Unser for fourth on the all-time list.

Power has also been on the front row at Mid-Ohio for six straight years.

In eight starts at Mid-Ohio, his best finish is second, with five top-five finishes.

“We haven’t won here,” he said. “It’s something I’d really like to do. I’ve qualified well here. I’ve run well here,” Power said.

Team Penske earned both of the spots on the front row for the fifth time in 13 races this season.

Takuma Sato of Andretti Autosport drove his Honda to the third position. Local favourite Graham Rahal (Honda) of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing was fourth.
