Indy 500 victory and perfect May possible for Will Power

INDIANAPOLIS - Perfection is rare in the Verizon IndyCar Series. A perfect weekend, a perfect qualifying session, even turning a single perfect lap can prove to be elusive. Between the intense competition in the series and the minuscule margin for error in an Indy car, perfection often seems more like a mirage than anything actually attainable.

That’s what makes what Will Power is doing right now so unique. Halfway through May, Will Power is pitching a perfect month.

Not only did the Team Penske driver champion the Month of May primer known as IndyCar Grand Prix on Saturday, but he did so after winning the pole, setting a track qualifying record and producing Friday’s fastest practice sessions.
