Maturity helping Power to regain lost form

Will Power has had a rough start to the past few seasons, with the veteran often lamenting that he is no longer in the championship race after the first portion of the year.

This year is different, however, as the veteran has finished in the top four for each of the first races and will be starting from pole for this afternoon’s GMR Grand Prix.

Power didn’t point to any big changes in his or team’s approach that have led to this season’s consistency, but rather a lack of mistakes and his own maturity behind the wheel.

“When I look back at the previous two years, it’s just so many weird things that happened,” said Power.  “Whether it’s a spark plug gone bad or at the 500 we had a brake issue or the car doesn’t start at Detroit.

“These sort of things really hampered me the last couple of years and even before that in 2021 was the same. ’20 was the same.

“I felt like if we could just put a season together of kind of not being the best, just mistake-free – don’t necessarily have to be the quickest on track – I feel like we could be riding the championship home.

“I’m for sure more of a mature driver.  There’s no question.  That’s just slowly happened over 17 years of IndyCar, so I make less mistakes and know when to go, when not to go more than I used to.  There will be a little bit of that playing into it as well.”

Power currently sits fourth in the points standings, but is only nine points off the top spot and has a great chance to add to his points total this afternoon.

He has won on the Indianapolis road course five times in the past, and always seems to do well on the 2.44-mile course.
