Power Happy camper

Will Power won the Camping World Grand Prix at Watkins Glen (N.Y.) International with a commanding performance on Sunday, giving Team Penske its first IndyCar Series win at the storied road course. Penske drivers had won the first five poles at Watkins Glen but had never won. Power, the series points leader, started from the pole and led 45 of 60 laps around the 11-turn, 3.4-mile road course. He beat teammate Ryan Briscoe by 1.2 seconds for his third win of the season, all on road or street courses. “It’s the first race I pushed the whole way,” Power said. “It was a difficult race. I loved it.” Dario Franchitti was third, followed by Raphael Matos and Mario Moraes.
