Power tops IndyCar GMR GP practice

Will Power

A Team Penske car has won every IndyCar Grand Prix on the Indy road course and this year appears to be setting up for yet another Team Penske win.

Will Power in the #12 Penske Chevy turned the fastest lap in practice for Saturday's IndyCar GMR GP. His time of 1m09.9487s beat Dale Coyne Honda driver Santino Ferrucci by 0.1755s.

Marcus Ericsson was the fastest Ganassi Honda driver in third with a time of 1m10.165s time followed by the Arrows McLaren Chevy of Pato O'Ward and the Ganassi Honda of Scott Dixon who rounded out the top-5.

Qualifying at 4:30pm today should be interesting with the first group out having to deal with the NASCAR rubber that will then be down on the track. Will Power and all the odd placed drivers from this session will be out in the 2nd group.
