Power slams Milka

IndyCar officials put Milka Duno on probation two weeks ago, telling her she needs to get up to speed if she wants to be allowed to compete in the series.

If the officials thought the message would keep Duno out of trouble, they were wrong. Duno started from the back of the 27-car field after being held out of qualifying on Saturday but still found a way to mix it up. She was nearing the final turn on the 2.258-mile circuit midway through the race when Power and Castroneves came up behind her. Both struggled to slip past, with Castroneves making a late turn into the pits to avoid a mishap. "She was hard to predict what she's going to do," Power said. "Luckily I got by her."

Yet the bobble also allowed Franchitti to slightly extend his lead on his way to victory. "That sort of ruined any chance I had of passing him in the pits during the pit stop," Power said. "Don't know what else to say."
