Power heads to make-or-break NTT IndyCar Series doubleheader at Iowa needing a big weekend to keep ever-so-slim title hopes alive.
Will Power has raced 15 times at Iowa Speedway, and 15 times come away without an IndyCar victory.As for the NTT IndyCar Series championship, Alex Palou leads second-ranked Scott Dixon by 117 points heading into Iowa.But don’t be surprised if Power has a few nails in his pocket to throw at the tires of Team Penske teammate Josef Newgarden to slow him down and potentially give Power a chance to finally win at Iowa Speedway for the first time in this weekend’s only doubleheader of the season.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, one of my favorite tracks, been trying to win there for years,” Power said of Iowa.And who would that one guy be? “A guy that hasn't lost an oval race maybe that he's finished in about three years,” Power quipped about Newgarden. “I just keep knocking on that door. So, yeah, I’m looking forward to getting there, seeing where we stack up. I feel like we'll stack up there.”Will Power, right, was left looking up at teammate Josef Newgarden on the podium last year at Iowa.Power is still steaming about this past Sunday’s 14th-place finish at Toronto. He was running in the top five for much of the second half of the race and appeared headed for a top five, if not a potential podium.
Power and Newgarden both believed there may have been something wrong with Team Penske’s addition and subtraction when it came to fuel mileage and how many more laps each driver could go. Power said he was sure he could have made it to the finish on the fuel he had left, but he was over-ruled and being the dutiful soldier, he stopped for the extra fuel.“The fuel estimation was 2% wrong, that was the problem, we had a 2% error,” Power said.
Heading into this weekend, Team Penske obviously hopes the fuel error at Toronto has been resolved. Now, all Power has to worry about are guys like series leader Alex Palou, who has won three of the last four races and four of the last six, as well as, of course, his teammate, Newgarden.
