WILL POWER, NO. 12 VERIZON TEAM PENSKE CHEVROLET – RACE WINNER
YOU’VE GOT YOUR 37TH CAREER WIN. AND YOU’VE NOW WON TWO OF THE LAST THREE RACES.
“Absolutely. It was a pretty tough race. (Felix) Rosenqvist caused some pressure. At the end we could slowly pull away and I felt like oh yeah, this is going to be good; and then we got that yellow flag and I’m like oh, come on, man! But, I was determined to get a good restart and just so stoked to get into Victory Lane. It helps the teams and the other guys take some points away. Awesome. I’m exhausted. I’m mentally exhausted.”

SCOTT DIXON HAD THE PROBLEM. WOULD YOU HAVE HAD SOMETHING FOR HIM IF HE HAD NOT HAVE BROKEN?
“Yeah, he was pretty quick on reds. It would have been interesting on blacks. That guy was really good on blacks as the stint went on. He was going to get a tenth or two on me in that stint but I don’t know. Who knows? But, I’ve had enough rough luck in races. I’ll take them any way I can get them.

“It was a tough day because it was so green. There was the yellow at the start, but then it was getting your fuel number and pushing as hard as you can to get as much out of it as you can. It was kind of mentally draining with a very long couple of stints.

“Blacks were definitely better for us; we weren’t as good as reds.

“We’ve had plenty of what-if years. We will just race right now how we will race next year. It is so good to go into next year with a couple of wins.”
