Simon Pagenaud's hot streak continued at Barber Motorsports Park, giving Team Penske yet another pole.
Pagenaud, who has a win and two runners-up finish in the first three races, edged teammate Will Power in Fast 6 qualifying Saturday with a lap of 1:06.7262.
Team Penske is 4 for 4 in taking 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 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.
Defending champion Josef Newgarden will start third, followed by Scott Dixon, Sebastian Bourdais and Graham Rahal.
