LONG BEACH, Calif. -- Alexander Rossi will try to win his second consecutive race through the streets of Long Beach from the pole.
The defending race winner snagged the top starting spot for Sunday's race as the qualifying session ended. He won from the pole last year. The Andretti Autosport driver scored victories in three of the four times he's started an IndyCar race out front.
Scott Dixon qualified second Saturday, his best starting position at Long Beach, followed by the Team Penske trio Will Power, Josef Newgarden and Simon Pagenaud.
