After starting third, Power applied consistent pressure for the top spot on in- and out-laps, but undoubtedly the win was decided in the event’s only restart on lap 68 of 85. The Aussie lined up second in the No. 12 Team Penske Chevrolet and made a stout jump on leader Alex Palou, but it wasn’t enough to pull off the overtake as he was left watching the win escape in the distance by 6.106s and collected his third second-place finish in four points-scoring rounds.
There was also an extra bit of satisfaction in this finish, though, as Power was without two team members – strategist Ron Ruzeweski and data acquisition engineer Robbie Atkinson – as part of the suspensions handed out by owner Roger Penske after the push-to-pass scandal from St. Petersburg. Both members will also be unavailable for the upcoming Indianapolis 500. As a result, Power’s race engineer, Dave Faustino, handled an additional workload and also called strategy for this past weekend.
