Will powers to GP victory

AUSTRALIAN Will Power finished second at the Grand Prix of Long Beach yesterday, his standout drive giving team Penske Chevrolet a much needed spark after their slow start to the Indycar season.

The former series champion and 32-time race winner took the lead in the 25th lap, but was overtaken by eventual winner Alexander Rossi who pulled away with nine laps to go for his third IndyCar victory.

But it was a brilliant drive from the 37-year-old from Toowoomba.
