Power wins at Pocono to narrow Pagenaud's lead

LONG POND, Pa. -- Will Power continued his late-season surge, holding Mikhail Aleshin at bay after a final restart and won the IndyCar race at Pocono Raceway on Monday.

It was the fourth win of the season for Power, 29th of his career and cut the lead of Team Penske teammate Simon Pagenaud to 20 points in the standings with three races remaining in the season.

After crashing late, Pagenaud finished 18th in the 500-mile race, which was postponed a day by rain.

A year ago, Ryan Hunter-Reay won a crash-filled race at Pocono that took the life of Englishman Justin Wilson.
