Will Power quickly snatched the lead from pole-sitter Santino Ferrucci into Turn 1 and was relatively uncontested en route to winning the Grand Prix of Portland.
The 43-year-old Aussie’s closest competition was championship leader Alex Palou, who started third and quickly made his way to second, but was unable to mount a run either on-track or through pit sequences to overtake Power. In the end, Power had his No. 12 Team Penske Chevrolet out front for 101 of 110 laps and bested Palou by 9.8267s around the 12-turn, 1.964-mile natural terrain road course to take his third victory of the season and 44th of his career. Additionally, he moved back into second in the title race, now trailing Palou by 54 points (484-430) with three races to go.
