LEXINGTON, Ohio -- Will Power is IndyCar's king of the Road.
The Australian driver captured the pole for Sunday's race at Mid-Ohio.
Power turned a lap time of one minute 7.199 seconds at the twisting 2.258-mile course. Dario Franchitti qualified second, followed by Takuma Sato and Ryan Hunter-Reay.
The pole is Power's seventh pole of the season, tying a record set by Penske Racing teammate Helio Castroneves in 2007.
The performance allowed Power to clinch IndyCar's first Road Course Championship. The former ChampCar regular has dominated the road events this season, collecting four victories and finishing no worse than fourth in seven road races.
Power enters Sunday's race with a 51-point lead over Franchitti in the overall standings.
