Will Power was left exhausted after delivering a commanding drive to win Sunday’s Grand Prix of Portland and in turn, inching closer to championship leader Alex Palou.
The sublime performance could be outlined simply by the fact Power led 101 of 110 laps en route to a beatdown on the field that saw him finish 9.8267s ahead of Palou’s No. 10 Chip Ganassi Racing Honda. While pit cycles led to random lead changes, the closest anyone really got to Power’s No. 12 Team Penske Chevrolet was at the start when he overtook pole-sitter Santino Ferrucci with an inside maneuver into Turn 1 just seconds after taking the green flag.
