WILL POWER, NO. 1 VERIZON TEAM PENSKE CHEVROLET, pole winner for Indy Toronto. It is the fifth pole of the season for Power and the 41st of his Verizon IndyCar Series career, breaking the tie with Rick Mears for fifth on the all-time pole winner list.

“I had no idea (he would have a chance for the pole). I was just hoping I would be like fourth or third, something like that. I did not expect to be on pole, so, yeah, I’m very happy.” (About how tough the track is to drive): “You’ve got to drive around here. It’s all man-handling because you’ve got those slippery surfaces in the middle of the corners, so you’ve got to be on the wheel a lot.” (About whether there will be passing opportunities in the race): “There is going to be a lot of moving into Turn 3 and obviously into Turn 1 there’s always a lot of action. Starting on pole is great, it keeps me out of the mess early on. Obviously Indy car races are never straightforward, so it’s just awesome to get the pole because I really wasn’t expecting it, so I was really happy with that. It’s long day tomorrow, we’ll see what we can do.” (About his hand injury): “It’s sore but it’s fine. You’ve just got to mentally switch it off when you hit a bump. It’s fine. It’s cracked or fractured, so I can’t do any more damage to it. That’s the good thing.”
