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.

Chevrolet continued to dominate with the top five qualifiers.
