LEXINGTON, Ohio (AP) — IndyCar points leader Ryan Briscoe has captured the pole for the Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio.

Briscoe turned in a lap of 121.905 mph over the winding 2.258-mile course on Saturday, narrowly beating out Justin Wilson to take his third pole of the season.

Scott Dixon and Graham Rahal will start in the second row on Sunday, followed by Helio Castroneves and Dario Franchitti in the third row.

Briscoe will be looking for his third win of the season and second straight overall after edging Ed Carpenter during last week’s race at Kentucky.

Briscoe is the defending champion at Mid-Ohio.
