Power shows promising signs in practice ahead of Saturday Qualifying for Indy 500

Will Power posted the 6th fastest time in practice Thursday as the teams get ready for the second qualifying say Saturday. Power averaged 222.657 behind Ryan Briscoe who topped the sheets with a average lap speed of 223.708.

It was nice to get some dry track time today in the KVRT Aussie Vineyards – Team Australia car,” Power said.  “Everyone thought it would rain today, but fortunately it never came.  We were able to get through a few test items, did one qualifying run and a couple of long runs which were interesting.  But all in all, we are still at a similar pace as before.  We are making slow progress, but I think now we really need to focus on the race setup.   I think that is the most critical for us if we are going to finish well in this race.”
