Power wins Pocono, 13th straight year with a win

LONG POND, Pa. -- Will Power won the shortened race Sunday at Pocono Raceway, the 13th straight season he's won an IndyCar race. The race was called with 72 laps left because of lightning and severe weather in the area.

The lightning near the track meant the medevac helicopter required at races was unable to take off in the event anyone at the track needed to be flown to the hospital, bringing the race to the halt.

Lightning strikes at Pocono after a rain-shortened NASCAR race killed one fan in 2012.

Power was in the right position to a win a race marred by yet another horrific wreck that collected five drivers on the first lap and sent Chip Ganassi Racing driver Felix Rosenqvist to the hospital for evaluation.
