LEEDS, Ala. (AP) — Rinus VeeKay led an upset in IndyCar qualifying to position himself to race for the win at Barber Motorsports Park.

Barber is an extremely difficult track to pass on and Will Power in 2012 won from ninth — the lowest starting spot in race history for a winner. The winner’s average starting spot has been 3.2 in 11 previous races.
