Will Power Tops Second Grand Prix of Louisiana Practice at NOLA Motorsports Park

In an abbreviated session due to rain, it’d be Will Power topping the speed chart in the second practice for the Grand Prix of Lousiana. Power, who led both practices at St. Petersburg before finishing second, topped the charts with a lap of one minute and 20.1704 seconds.

Ryan Hunter-Reay was second quickest, 0.1020 seconds behind, showing the first bit of speed for Honda since the new aerodynamic kits were unveiled at St. Petersburg. Hunter-Reay topped his fellow Honda mates at St. Pete, finishing seventh behind six Chevrolets.

Power’s Team Penske teammate Simon Pagenaud was third quickest in his second event with the team, followed by Stefano Coletti and Simona de Silvestro.

St. Petersburg winner Juan Pablo Montoya was sixth quickest, followed by Carlos Munoz, Charlie Kimball, Takuma Sato and Graham Rahal.

Besides weather, the practice ran incident free for the most part, except for a spin by James Jakes in the closing laps of the session.
