Scott Dixon had a four-lap average of 226.760 mph in qualifying Sunday to claim his second Indianapolis 500 pole. Dixon, of Target Chip Ganassi Racing, ended Team Penske's streak of eight straight pole wins. After Ed Carpenter's car went airborne in practice, series officials took away the extra power boost and instructed drivers to run in race trim. Most expected it to take an average between 233 and 234 to win the pole.
