Alexander Rossi celebrated taking the points lead yesterday by winning the pole for Race 2 In Detroit. Rossi win he s group by nearly 3 seconds over Will Power. Power has been the strongest Chevy this weekend. He will start third.

Joining Rossi on the front row is Robert Wickens, who led group 1  qualifying. It’s always exciting when Wickens and Rossi are side by side. Scott Dixon, winner of yedteryeste race, starts 5th.

This is the third career pole for Rossi and his second this year. Rossi has won from the pole the two times he’s started first.

The session was run on rain tires, but dry conditions are expected for the race.

I will not post an update after the race tonight as I need to drive back to Indy. Thoughts on the weekend will he up tomorrow. Also look for a wrapup on wildfireradiosports.com on Tuesday.
