Milwaukee Indyfest

The ABC Supply Wisconsin 250
narrowed the Indycar Championship down to just 6 drivers! 

 

 

 

Polesitter Will Power took the early lead, and became the third driver this season to win from the pole.  Ryan Hunter-Reay made an impressive charge through the field from 19th, and was looking very strong but was taken out by a mechanical failure.   
James Hinchcliffe, the fastest in both weekend practice sessions, never seemed to recover from his final practice crash and didn't contend all day. 
Josef Newgarden looked like he might copy his 2nd place finishing run at Iowa.  He pitted late for fuel and took 4 new tires putting him a lap down in 12th, then he began slicing through the field but ran out of time and finished 5th (on the lead lap).

 

 

 

 

In the end, it came down to Will Power, followed closely by bhis Penske teammate Juan Montoya. 

Will Power's radio after the race: "I love winning on ovals".
