MEXICO CITY, Mexico (November 10, 2007) - Putting aside lingering effect of a broken wrist sustained just three weeks ago in Surfers Paradise, Australian Champ Car star Will Power (#5 Aussie Vineyards Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone) claimed his fifth pole position of the season. Power clocked a best lap at 1:23.558 (119.515 mph) to shatter Sebastien Bourdais' (#1 McDonald's Cosworth/DP01/Bridgestone) day-old track record.
Power shares the front row with four-time Champ Car champion Bourdais, who secured his 10th front-row starting spot of the season by leading Friday's provisional qualifying session with a lap at 1:24.698 (117.906 mph). The Newman/Haas/Lanigan Racing driver will make his final start in the series on Sunday looking for his 31st career Champ Car victory. Bourdais is also the defending champion in Mexico City.
Doornbos posted the second-quickest time of final qualifying at 1:24.152 (118.671 mph) and will start third in the Minardi Team USA machine.
