INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Will Power has 18 victories since moving to America, where he’s one of the most decorated drivers in open-wheel racing.
But his resume has some glaring holes: He’s never won an Indianapolis 500, and he’s never won a championship.
Power says he’s aware of the gaps, and is tired of not having ever won anything of significance.
But the Australian should be proud of his success. In 44 career starts since joining Penske Racing, Power has 15 wins, 20 poles, 24 podiums and has led at least one lap in 34 races.
But Power wants more and his chance to cross the Indy 500 off his list comes Sunday, when he’ll start fifth. He goes into the race as IndyCar’s points leader, and has won the last three races.
