Will Power won the shortened race Sunday at Pocono Raceway, the 13th straight season he's won an IndyCar race. The race was called with 72 laps left because of lightning and severe weather in the area.

Will Power drives into Turn 1 during an IndyCar Series auto race at Pocono Raceway, Sunday, Aug. 18, 2019, in Long Pond, Pa. LONG POND, Pa. -- The black clouds that enveloped Pocono and officially brought the IndyCar race to a premature end didn't appear until the halfway point. But they've really been hanging over the track since the series returned to the mountains in 2013.

IndyCar at Pocono has turned into perhaps the scariest race day in auto racing, 500 miles of danger for drivers on the 2 1/2-mile track and white knuckles and clasped hands for anyone watching the event. "I can't even begin to understand how after last year Takuma thinks that's acceptable," Rossi said. "It's disgraceful."

"It's just a toxic relationship and maybe it's time to consider a divorce," he wrote. "I'm very relieved that everyone is okay from that scary crash."
