Australian IndyCar driver Will Power qualified second behind Penske teammate Simon Pagenaud for the Grand Prix of Alabama.

Pagenaud, who has a win and two runners-up finish in the first three races, edged Power in `Fast 6' qualifying with a lap of 1:06.7262 for Sunday's (Monday AEST) race.

Team Penske has four straight pole positions this season, but it's the first of the year for Pagenaud.

Power, a two-time winner on the 17-turn, 2.3-mile (3.7km) road course, had the second-fastest lap.

He'd won the pole three times since 2010 in Alabama and will start up front for the sixth consecutive year.
