Power pads series lead with win at Sonoma
SONOMA, Calif. (AP) - Will Power has won at the track he had to be airlifted from a year ago, padding his IndyCar Series lead with a dominating run Sunday at Infineon Raceway.
Power never made it to race day in 2009, his weekend and season over with a practice session crash that left him with a broken back.
Other than a few first-day jitters early in the week, the Team Penske driver never showed any sign of fear in his return to Sonoma. Power set an IndyCar record with his eighth pole of 2010 on Saturday and led 73 of 75 laps over the technically-demanding 2.303-mile circuit through the hills of the California wine country.
Power pushed his series lead to 59 points over Dario Franchitti, who finished third behind Scott Dixon. Ryan Briscoe was fourth.
