Will Power ended a two-year winless drought and led a Team Penske sweep by scoring victory on Sunday at Road America.
A two-time IndyCar Series champion, Power was running third ahead of the final pitstop, but utilized the overcut to jump his team-mates to cycle to the lead and coast to a 3.2609s victory at the 4.014-mile, 14-turn natural terrain road course. It was the 42nd win of Power’s career, moving him into a tie for fourth all-time with Michael Andretti. It also marked the first win for Power since Detroit in June 2022.
Newgarden’s run on the preferred tire came into play as he caught and passed McLaughlin to take the race lead entering Turn 1 on lap 36. A replay showed Newgarden making a ‘hang loose’ hand gesture and looked over at his team-mate as he made the pass. Palou was the first of the leaders this time to pit, coming in on lap 42 and opting for primary tires. McLaughlin then dove to pit road on lap 43 and swapped to the primary compound.
