DETROIT -- Will Power set a track qualifying record at Belle Isle, winning the pole Friday for the first of this weekend's two IndyCar races.

Power's time of 1 minute, 16.0941 seconds bested the previous mark of 1:16.1371 by Takuma Sato last year. Helio Castroneves also beat that record Friday, finishing second to Power at 1:16.12.

Power, Castroneves and Indianapolis 500 winner Juan Pablo Montoya gave owner Roger Penske a sweep of the top three qualifying spots for Saturday's race.
