Full Power as fuel stop pays

QUEENSLAND’S Will Power got the fuel strategy right yesterday to win the IndyCar race in Madison, Illinois.

Power, the Indy 500 winner, took a splash of fuel late in the race, allowing him to go flat out to the finish as he regained the lead with eight laps to go at Gateway Motorsports Park.

That was enough to stay in front of American Alexander Rossi, who tried to conserve fuel for about 70 laps and wound up making one less stop to finish second.
