INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana – Team Penske reached a milestone in Indy car qualifying today, as well as extending its Verizon P1 Award domination at the INDYCAR Grand Prix and for the 2017 Verizon IndyCar Series season.

The renowned team with more race wins and pole positions than anyone in Indy car history earned its 250th pole position when Will Power turned the fastest lap in the Firestone Fast Six, the climactic third and final round of knockout qualifying for Saturday’s fourth annual INDYCAR Grand Prix. It is also the fifth pole for Team Penske in as many series races this season and its third straight on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway 2.439-mile, 14-turn road circuit.
