TORONTO -- Indianapolis 500 winner Simon Pagenaud will start from the pole for the IndyCar race through the streets of Toronto.
Pagenaud has been on a tear around Exhibition Place all weekend as his Team Penske Chevrolet has been consistently fast and paced Saturday morning's final practice before qualifying. Then he took pole, edging out reigning series champion Scott Dixon for the top starting spot in Sunday's race.
Dixon later said he has been bothered for almost a month by an elbow issue that is causing him discomfort while driving.
Dixon's teammate Felix Rosenqvist qualified third for Chip Ganassi Racing, followed by Indy 500 runner-up Alexander Rossi for Andretti Autosport as Honda drivers took spots 2 through 4.
