    New Zealand's Scott Dixon secured pole position for Sunday's Indy Japan at Twin Ring Motegi, the last IndyCar series race to be held in Japan.

    The Target Chip Ganassi driver posted the best lap of 1 minute, 38.3918 seconds on Saturday to edge Team Penske driver Will Power of Australia by 0.0276 seconds. American driver Graham Rahal was third.

    "We gradually worked on the car and made it better and better," said Dixon, who won here in 2009. "It took us a bit of time but we finally got it right."

    Ryan Briscoe of Australia was fourth followed by Canadian rookie James Hinchcliffe in fifth and defending champion Helio Castroneves in sixth.
