"We’re going to win one of these things; I keep saying it. We’re getting closer and closer and it feels good. We had to keep fighting as hard as we could and we came up just a little bit short. It’s still good momentum going into the Indy 500. It was hard to catch Will. I could close a little bit but I wasn’t able to gain."
“We made some gains over last year but we’re still struggling with the consistency of the grip level. On our own, it’s pretty good but then when we get in traffic its good for a little bit but then it seems to slide the longer we go so we’ve got to be a little cautious. We turned a lot of laps out there in the Steak ‘n Shake car and I got behind Dixon on old tires and we were doing 221’s which I don’t think is too bad."
Reigning Verizon IndyCar Series champion Will Power backed up his Verizon P1 Award and track qualifying lap record with a dominant victory today in the Angie's List Grand Prix of Indianapolis.
At the end of qualifying for the Augie's List Grand Prix of Indianapolis, it'd be Will Power topping the charts with a lap of one minute and 9.4886 seconds. The qualifying session also gave Power a brand new track record, as he posted his fastest lap in the first segment of qualifying, topping Pagenaud's lap of 1:09.6716 from last season.
At the end of the third practice for the Augie's List Grand Prix of Indianapolis, it'd be Team Penske's Helio Castroneves topping the charts with a lap of one minute and 10.3756 seconds.
“It was good to be the fastest Honda in the second session but we’ve got to get some predictability in the car. It’s pretty difficult to drive; it’s on edge which is how it’s been all year but as I said to someone earlier, if it’s on edge and fast, that’s cool but if it’s on edge and its slow, that’s obviously not so at least we’re at the fast end. We’ve got to find some more things to make the Steak ‘n Shake car faster to be good in qualifying and on race day.”
At the end of a pair of practices for the Augie's List Grand Prix of Indianapolis, it'd be three-time Verizon IndyCar Series Champion Scott Dixon topped the charts with a lap of one minute and 10.6971 seconds.
At the end of the first practice for the Augie's List Grand Prix of Indianapolis, it'd be 2014 Honda Indy Toronto race winner Sebastien Bourdais topping the charts with a lap of one minute and 10.9378 seconds.
