After the second practice session on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway’s 2.439-mile road course, 18 of the 27 cars finished within half a second of top spot, so small mistakes were expected to be costly in qualifying.
Power took pole in the Fast Six shootout by a mere 0.042s ahead of reigning champion Alex Palou (Chip Ganassi Racing), while Power’s team-mate Josef Newgarden was only 0.025s further back in third.
