Power, Newgarden Friday's best at Indy practice

INDIANAPOLIS -- Will Power and Josef Newgarden finally got Chevrolet to the top of the speed chart Friday.

Now they'll have to do it all over again in qualifying -- at least twice.

The Australian driver for Team Penske took advantage of a power by producing the fastest lap all week in Indianapolis 500 practice, going 232.672 mph, while Newgarden finished second at 232.344.

"I'm really impressed with the speeds," said James Hinchcliffe, the top Honda driver at 231.972. "I really didn't think we'd hit those numbers."

The numbers also can be deceptive.
