Power, a two-time winner in Alabama, will start second, followed by Simon Pagenaud for a Team Penske sweep of the top three spots. The rest of the top six includes Scott Dixon, Josef Newgarden and Tony Kanaan. Dixon has podium finishes in all five Barber races in the series, including four runners-up but no wins. — AP
