Race Rundown: Amid Team Penske’s strong start to the 2022 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season is Will Power’s streak of top-five finishes, one that he ran to three in Sunday’s Grand Prix of Long Beach. It marks the first time since Power’s 2014 INDYCAR SERIES title campaign that the Australian native has notched three-consecutive top-five finishes to start the year. Power quickly made his way into the top five, eventually closing in on the top three in the running order while holding down the fourth position. In the end, Power didn’t have enough to challenge teammate and eventual race winner, Josef Newgarden, crossing the finish line in the fourth position, marking his seventh top-five finish on the streets of Long Beach.
Power’s Thoughts: “It’s a very good day for me with a top-five after starting P7. We said in our strategy meeting that if we could finish in the top-five it’s a great day. Obviously, a win would have been awesome but we keep making those points… top-fives week in a week out. That’s what wins championships. We’ll keep doing that and hopefully find ourselves in victory lane with the Verizon 5G Chevy very soon.”
TIL NEXT TIME, I AM STILL WORKING ON MY REDNECK!
