Andretti on pole at Pocono. He was the fastest with an advantage of 0.4 mph to Reay, and 0.8mph to Hinchcliffe. Despite the improvement of the other drivers they have not been able to reach intractable Andretti as he is showning himself in the oval. So the first line will be set with them.
Other drivers who can get the victory as the Penske Team with Power and Castroneves are in the second line in forward positions so they do not have to make a big recover. Tony Kanaan is on the same line. Dixon, Sato and Pagenaud will share the third line
