Bourdais moved to the top of the time chart with 4 minutes, 53 seconds left with a lap of 1 minute, 6.0186 seconds.

Hunter-Reay enters the 15th race of the 18-race season 69 points behind championship front-runner Helio Castroneves. Will Power is second, 13 points behind his Team Penske teammate. Castroneves, who entered the Mid-Ohio race in August 2013 as the championship points leader, finished second in the standings to Dixon. The three-time Indianapolis 500 winner is seeking his first series title.

"We want the team to be the champion," Castroneves said. "Unfortunately, the last few years, we were close and not able to make it happen. Right now, myself, Will and Juan Pablo (Montoya) have a chance, so yes, I want to be the one, but in the end of the day, we want to have this for Team Penske."

Power, who starts sixth, also is aiming for his first series title. He was the championship runner-up in 2010, 2011 and '12.
