WILL POWER, NO. 1 VERIZON TEAM PENSKE CHEVROLET – RACE WINNER
YOU HAD GRAHAM RAHAL BEHIND YOU, AND YOU HAD TO HIT YOUR FUEL NUMBER. HOW HARD WAS THAT LAST STINT? “That was hard when (Tim Cindric) told me the number I had to hit, and then that Rahal was closing. It was really hard. I was trying to save in the spots where we wouldn’t lose time and push like hell in the other areas. That’s the most physical race I think I’ve ever done. It never stopped. I was so determined to win that I didn’t want anything to go wrong. I didn’t want to get caught out by a yellow and wanted a clean race, and that’s exactly what we got. I’m really happy for the guys on the Verizon car. It’s pretty special to win here.”

YOU SAID YOU HAD FOUR SECTIONS YOU WANTED TO CONTROL FIRST AT INDIANAPOLIS. YOU HAVE TWO DOWN NOW. “I’m halfway there. I’m going for all four! I’m very determined. Now I’ve won a championship. The Indy 500 is the absolutely on my mind, and that’s the one race I want to win.”

TIM CINDRIC, STRATEGIST FOR WILL POWER: “Our whole team did great. It was flawless from the beginning. It was nice to have a clean race without a lot of yellows and a lot of things you have to juggle. He was certainly a machine today. Anytime you can win at Indianapolis is pretty special, and I know Chevrolet realizes that as we do. Hopefully we can keep the streak together and be a Chevrolet/Team Penske combo the next couple of weeks as well.”
