ST. PETERSBURG, Fla.—2014 series champion Will Power is off to a very fast start in 2015—fastest of the 24 drivers practicing for the Verizon IndyCar 2015 season-opening Grand Prix of St. Petersburg.
Power, driving for Penske Racing put his #1 Chevy-powered Dallara atop the timesheet in both practice sessions, more than a tenth of a second ahead of new team mate Simon Pagenaud in the #22 Penske Dallara Chevrolet.
Power won the race in 2010 and again in 2014, and qualified fastest in four of the five years; all signs point to yet another year of domination for the 34-year-old Australian.
Penske’s Helio Castroeves was third quickest around the 14 turns of the 1.8-mile course laid out in the streets of downtown St. Pete.
