Marco Andretti won the pole for the IndyCar season finale, putting himself in position for a strong close to what's been the worst year of his career. Andretti's qualifying average of 216.069 mph Friday was good enough to take the top spot at Auto Club Speedway. It held off Ryan Briscoe's average of 216.058, and gave Andretti the second pole of his career. The first came at Milwaukee in 2008.
