St. Petersburg, Fla (March 9, 2019) – Will Power just loves the Streets of St. Petersburg, Florida. For the eighth time at the very technical street course, and the 55th time in his career, the Team Penske driver of the No. 12 Verizon Chevrolet, will lead the field of the NTT IndyCar Series (NICS) to the green flag.

With a lap of one minute, 0.4594 seconds/107.170 mph, the 2014 Series’ champion captured his first NTT P1 Award of the season. The top-qualifying effort was number six for a Chevy-powered driver since 2012 when the Bowtie Brand returned to NICS competition.

TEAM PENSKE DRIVERS DELIVER ALL-CHEVY FRONT ROW AT ST. PETERSBURG

WILL POWER, NO. 12 VERIZON TEAM PENSKE CHEVROLET – POLE WINNER:
ON WINNING POLE: “I was really surprised when he said, P-1, and I was like what? We had the used tires and it was just being there all session. But, it was a really neat lap. Obviously, the tires had a lap on them; but yeah, I was surprised. I thought someone still had another run to do or something, but yeah. Awesome job, awesome job. The car slowly climbed up all weekend. We were P-10 in the first few practices and moved to P-5. To get the pole for the first race of the season is awesome. It’s a really, really great start.” Continue reading TEAM PENSKE DRIVERS DELIVER ALL-CHEVY FRONT ROW AT ST. PETERSBURG →

JIMMIE JOHNSON, NO. 48 ALLY CAMARO ZL1, met with members of the media following the final Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series practice session. Johnson and the No. 48 Camaro ZL1 team were the quickest among the Chevrolet’s placing seventh on the final practice speed chart. Johnson will start tomorrow’s TicketGuardian 500 from the 15th position.

TALK ABOUT THE FINAL PRACTICE SESSION AND HOW YOU FEEL HEADING INTO THE RACE TOMORROW:
“It went well. Still looking for more, but in general a smooth day of … really two smooth days of practice sessions and trying to understand this new package. There is a lot of center of corner speed with the higher downforce so it’s been fun to really challenge yourself and kind of move your reference points around and charge the center of the corner. Our car has had respectable speed this weekend.” Continue reading Chevy Racing–NASCAR–Phoenix–Jimmie Johnson →
