NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — Will Power put together two fast laps Saturday to win both pole positions for this weekend's IndyCar Series doubleheader at Iowa Speedway. The lineups for the series' lone doubleheader were determined by individual lap speeds — the first lap determined the lineup for Saturday's 250-lap race, with the second lap setting the lineup for Sunday's 250-lap event. Power's first lap was 181.426 mph, and then he followed that with a lap of 181.578 mph.
