Will Power has secured pole position for the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, the opening round of the 2017 IndyCar season.

The 2014 champion was one of only two Chevrolet-powered cars to progress to the all-important Firestone Fast Six session in qualifying, such has been the dominance of Honda power so far this weekend.

The Penske racer will line-up alongside four-time champion Scott Dixon on the front row of the grid, with the Chip Ganassi racer looking competitive as always after ending both practice one and two fastest.

James Hinchcliffe will line-up third for Schmidt Peterson Motorsports, alongside Josef Newgarden who completed a switch from Ed Carpenter Racing to Penske in the off-season.

Takuma Sato was impressive on his way to fifth on the grid, despite making heavy contact with the barriers earlier in the weekend. The Japanese racer has gone well around the streets of St. Petersburg before, taking pole position back in 2014. 

Veteran Tony Kanaan rounded out the top six for Chip Ganassi Racing, after making a mistake in the final minutes of qualifying which rendered him unable to challenge the likes of team-mate Dixon or the Penske of Power.

Former Formula 1 racer Max Chilton performed well for Chip Ganassi Racing, just missing out on a place in the Firestone Fast Six. The Briton will line-up seventh on the grid, alongside fellow former F1 racer Alexander Rossi.

The reigning Indianapolis 500 champion has also looked exceptionally strong throughout the weekend, despite only being in his second full season in IndyCar. 

Charlie Kimball and Graham Rahal rounded out the top ten, ahead of Carlos Munoz and 2012 champion Ryan Hunter-Reay.

Reigning series champion Simon Pagenaud was unable to challenge the sharp end of the order, with the Frenchman failing to progress to the second round of qualifying. He will line-up 14th on the grid.

Penske team-mate Helio Castroneves also endured a far from successful session, with the veteran also unable to make his way out of the first round of qualifying and therefore lining up a lowly 16th on the grid. 

Further down the grid rookie Ed Jones will line-up 18th for Dale Coyne Racing. The reigning IndyLights champion has looked relatively comfortable throughout the weekend so far, avoiding any on track skirmishes.

The same cannot be said for four-time champion Sebastien Bourdais, who misjudged his braking for the final hairpin and ran straight on into the retaining tyre barrier.

Although his car was not severely damaged, Bourdais was prevented from continuing due to causing a red flag delay and therefore lines up 21st and last on the grid.
