Penske’s Will Power took another pole position, his fifth of the season, on a street course, this time at the IZOD IndyCar Series' Toronto round.
Power led the way for most of the final Fast Six pole shoot-out, setting a best time of 59.577s to hold off Ganassi duo Scott Dixon and Dario Franchitti. Andretti Autosport’s Mike Conway showed that he was at ease on that type of circuit as the Long Beach event winner took fourth while Graham Rahal (Ganassi) claimed fifth. Newman/Haas driver Oriol Servia was the final man to reach the pole session, picking up pace for qualifying after a low-key practice build-up and taking sixth. Sebastien Bourdais showed the best pace of his American comeback so far as he took a very promising seventh on the grid for Dale Coyne Racing. Top Canadian was Alex Tagliani (Sam Schmidt Motorsports) in ninth, with James Hinchcliffe (Newman/Haas) just missing out on the top-12, and Paul Tracy struggling to 24th in the Dragon Racing car.
