Will Power Wins on the Streets of Long Beach to give the V-6 IndyCar third victory of the season.
Maximizing a two-pit stop race play called by strategist Tim Cindric, Will Power took the lead in the #12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet, left, on lap 70 of the 85-lap Grand Prix of Long Beach and never looked back. It was the second IZOD IndyCar Series victory for Power in as many weeks and the third consecutive win for Roger Penske’s Team Penske in the 2012 season.
“After last week you can never say never,” said Power from the Winner’s Circle. “I thought it would be very tough to win the race. We worked hard, we got a penalty and we overcame it. I’ve been trying to win this race for four years and now I’ve done it. That was just one of my best wins, I love it.”
Following the Long Beach win, Chris Berube, Chevrolet Racing IZOD IndyCar Series Program Manager said: “With four of the top-five, including the victory and seven of the top-10 finishes by our Chevrolet V-6 IndyCar teams in the Grand Prix of Long Beach Indy, it’s a testimony to the determination, talent and spirit of cooperation of Team Chevy in the IZOD IndyCar Series.”
