Ericsson and Power aren't surprised that the top 7 drivers in the IndyCar championship will occupy the first 7 slots on the grid for tonight's BommaritoAuto Group 500 at WWTRaceway.
Power and Ericsson will lead the field to the green in this evening’s Bommarito Automotive Group 500, pursued by Power’s Penske-Chevrolet teammates Josef Newgarden and Scott McLaughlin, followed by Ericsson’s Chip Ganassi Racing-Honda teammates Alex Palou and Scott Dixon, while in seventh will be Arrow McLaren SP-Chevrolet’s Pato O’Ward. Although not quite in championship order, this septet are the top seven in the points race, and are covered by just 60 points.
“Yeah, everyone's at the front, so... It's pretty typical of IndyCar, right?” said Power, who matched Mario Andretti’s all-time record for pole positions, with 67. “It's just going to go down to the last race. Ericsson pointed out that with so many drivers still in championship contention with three races to go, it was important for his #8 Ganassi team to just go for a second win, rather than cover the strategies of his title rivals.
