NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — The IndyCar series has penalized Scott Dixon and his No. 9 team after they won at Road America on June 25. The series announced Saturday that the Chip Ganassi Racing team was cited for three minor violations after Dixon’s Honda entered the track roughly a minute after the end of a morning warmup practice ahead of the Kohler Grand Prix in Wisconsin.

The team was fined an unspecified amount and docked 20 minutes of practice time Saturday at the Iowa Speedway. Dixon is scheduled to run in Sunday’s Iowa Corn 300.

NEWTON, Iowa (AP) — Will Power won the pole for Sunday’s IndyCar race at Iowa Speedway. This is his fourth pole of the season. Power was fastest in Saturday’s single-car, two-lap runs on the oval. J.R. Hildebrand qualified second, followed by Helio Castroneves, Ed Carpenter and Indianapolis 500 winner Takuma Sato.

Series leader Scott Dixon will start 17th after a disappointing qualifying run on the oval of just under nine-tenths of a mile. Power has already won twice this season. He will try to give Team Penske its first win in Iowa in 11 tries.

A few first round tournament pig-tail games will be played in high school baseball on Saturday. All start times are set for 7:00pm unless otherwise noted.
