Whatever tips Will Power had for him, he can pretty much save them for someone else. Power didn't look this comfortable in an oval race like 5-6 years into into his IndyCar career
Yeah I thought similar thoughts. He ended up nowhere near even the top 10 and finished I think 14th. I think he was let down a bit by a green pit stop just prior to a yellow.... the same yellow that benefitted Scotty Mac.

Definitely lost track position from it. But struggled after that. I think he dropped as low as 16 or 18 at one point.
Funny, because he had looked comfortable in 4th earlier.

Ericsson doesn't have much luck in the stops with a tyre coming off. Gets back out there.
I missed it on tv having an extended blink, but just saw this.

If Marcus didn't have bad luck he would have no luck. Seems like he was running well until then.
What happened to FRO?

He took to the grass avoiding Ericsson's stalled car and got outdragged by several cars on pitroad. Dropped from 2nd to 12th.

Such a shame for Harvey. Wheel bearing like Herta yesterday.
Ends up being a competition yellow though. Not oil on the track. Should be a quick yellow.

Rahal passes Dixon for the lead! O'Ward will challenge Dixon soon for P2.

Oh dear.
Swede hearts break. Felix loses his right rear wheel.
Good for everyone's fuel in any case. It'll be a straight-up fight now.

Power gets in the stupid traction compound and gets in the wall.
Newgarden gets by Sato for the lead, O'Ward follows him to 2nd
