    Will Power of Australia improved to four for four in IndyCar poles this season after earning the 200th for Team Penske at the Sao Paulo 300 on Saturday.

    Power, winner of the inaugural Sao Paulo race last year, will start at the front in Sunday's race after clocking 1 minute, 21.896 seconds on the 2.5-mile, 11-turn Anhembi temporary street circuit.

    "Very good day with qualifying," Power said. "I think it's important to start up front, there is less chance of getting taken out on the start and maybe the first couple of restarts."

    American Ryan Hunter-Reay of Andretti Autosport was 0.402 behind and will start second. Hunter-Reay was runner-up to Power in last year's race in Brazil and in qualifying two weeks ago in Long Beach.

    "Congratulations to Will," Hunter-Reay said. "Everybody else in the paddock is getting tired of it, but he is doing a great job."
