LEEDS, Ala.— Ryan Hunter-Reay, 2012 IndyCar champ demonstrated why he won the trophy with a smoking lap around Barber Motorsports Park Saturday morning, earning himself the pole for the 2013 Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama.

RHR dug deep for one really fast lap in the final round of knockout qualifying and ended up with a bigger gap between himself and the second-place driver, Will Power, than between any of the other drivers in the Firestone Fast Six.
