Team Penske Chevrolet driver Will Power edged defending race champion Alexander Rossi for his record fourth pole at the NTT IndyCar Series Honda Indy 200 at Lexington, Ohio.

Australian Power had a fast lap of 124.757 mph at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course while Rossi, who signed a multi-year contract Saturday to remain with Andretti Autosport and avoid free agency, had a lap at 124.044.

“When I get in that zone, I usually nail everything,” Power said.

Power broke a tie with Michael Andretti for the most poles at Mid-Ohio having also earned the P1 position in 2010, 2012 and 2017.

The 38-year-old Queenslander leads the series this year with three poles (St. Petersburg and Circuits of America) and has 57 career poles, second overall to Mario Andretti’s 67.

Power felt like another pole was coming Saturday.

“It’s a mental state I get into,” he said.

“I just get it all right. When I get to that area, it’s usually perfect.”

IndyCar series leader Josef Newgarden was third in 123.560 and Penske teammate Simon Pagenaud was fourth (123.358).

Despite his success in qualifying at Mid-Ohio, Power has not won the race in 10 starts. He has a second place (2016) among seven top-five finishes.

He is still looking for his first victory this year to extend his streak of 13 seasons with a win. Scott Dixon holds the record at 15, including the second race at Belle Island this year, and will start eighth in the Chip Ganassi Honda.
