Power rated only IndyCar threat to Montoya

Will Power will have IndyCar championship leader Juan Pablo Montoya in his sights at Pocono Raceway.

Australia's Will Power has qualified third fastest at Pocono Raceway as he tries to keep his IndyCar title hopes alive.

Power is 59 points out of the lead for Team Penske and pretty much the last driver who can stake even a feint claim at winning the championship at the expense of Juan Pablo Montoya.

He would likely need a victory to remain in contention.

Montoya's bid to stretch his points lead with two races left in the IndyCar season suffered a blow, with the Team Penske driver qualifying 19th for the race Sunday.

He seemed as if he was headed toward a runaway championship after eight straight top-10 finishes. But he finished 24th and 11th in the last two races.

Montoya, the Indianapolis 500 winner, won Pocono from the pole last season.
