Paddock Buzz: Will Power Beefs About Alex Palou's Traffic Manners
INDYCAR Chip Ganassi Racing's Alex Palou was the fastest NTT INDYCAR SERIES qualifier Saturday at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, but he also drew the ire of Team Penske's Will Power. Power thought three-time and defending series champion Palou should have been more polite to him during the morning practice. To make his point, Power, a two-time series champion, six times directed one of the big curse words at Palou, and he pointed his finger at the Spaniard at least that many times. Later, Power argued that it was as much the fault of Palou's strategist Barry Wanser for sending Palou into his path, but he was just as angry that Palou didn't yield the track to his No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet. 'I went out on new tires, and he came out a lap later in front of me and then stayed there,' Power told FS1. '(He) then spent four laps just going slow, so I had to keep backing up, backing up, backing up, which was frustrating. 'Then, I came in (to the pits), made a change, went out, (was) on a money lap (and CGR) sent him out of the pits again right in front of me – and he didn't move. He just kept going, and I had to back off again.' Power noted that not only did Palou didn't have traffic ahead of him on the 13-turn, 2.258-mile road course, no cars were behind him. One resolution would have been for Power to slow down to give himself a gap to Palou, but he didn't choose that path. 'He could have backed off, which I always do for him and anyone else if I'm in that position,' Power said. Palou said he anticipated what Power wanted to say to him – and likely how he was going to say it – as he approached him on pit lane after the session. 'Yeah, I knew, I knew,' Palou said. 'Look, I think if you look at (either) practice, everybody is complaining about traffic, and we're all angry that we don't get clear laps. But maybe he thought we did something personal to him. For sure, that was not the intention. 'I don't know if you saw, but I was always like a second or two seconds in front of him. He was just having to back off. I never tried to defend or anything. I think he was just a little upset, and that's OK. 'But, yeah, I knew what he was coming (to discuss) – I just didn't want to start to get into an argument. Yeah, it happens. It wasn't my first time with him, so it's good.' Power, Teammates Fail To Advance Power's day didn't get any better in qualifying. He and Team Penske teammates Josef Newgarden and Scott McLaughlin did not turn laps in Round 1 that were fast enough to have them advance to the second round. Newgarden will start Sunday's Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio Presented by the All-New 2026 Passport from the 18th position (of 27 cars). McLaughlin and Power will start together on the 11th row, qualifying 21st and 22nd, respectively. McLaughlin blamed traffic for preventing him from having a faster lap in qualifying. All three Penske drivers are former series race winners at this track, so they must be accounted for in this race. McLaughlin has been particularly strong in recent years, finishing first, fourth and third in the past three races, an average finish of 2.66. Newgarden has won two series races here. Power and McLaughlin have won one each. Keep an Eye on Turn 4 This popular section of the Mid-Ohio circuit is the first corner the field will encounter at the start of Sunday's race. Cars will be two-wide – at least – as they approach the hard right-hander. Trouble awaits, especially for those positioned in the left lane. That portion of the track has been redefined since last year's race, and it is flatter now to lessen the drop-off from asphalt to the gravel trap known as 'China Beach.' Several cars drifted wide in practice, dropping left-side tires in the new grass. But that's not the primary issue. There now is a bump at a popular braking point, and the bump seems to be more prominent on the left side. McLaughlin hit it at a bad time Saturday, and it pushed his car off the track. He wasn't the only one, and he won't be the last. If another car is alongside when the bump bites, more than one car could get chewed up. Longer Race Changes Pit Strategy This will be the first INDYCAR SERIES race at this track since 2019 that's 90 laps in length, and the 10-lap increase will change strategies. For the past four years, 80 laps were the norm, but that was an easy two-stop strategy with tight pit windows. The result was conservative racing and few options. This year, three stops will be necessary, and there should be some flexibility in when to make them. Fuel should last between 26 and 28 laps, but look for some competitors to pit early to get track position in the event of an early caution. INDYCAR staged 90-lap races here from 2013-19. Odds and Ends McLaughlin is one of six drivers who won series races last year but are winless this year, and each of them won multiple races. Power and Arrow McLaren's Pato O'Ward joined McLaughlin as three-time winners; Chip Ganassi Racing's Scott Dixon, Newgarden and Colton Herta of Andretti Global w/Curb-Agajanian won two each. This year, Palou (six) and Andretti Global's Kyle Kirkwood (three) are the only winners through nine races. Kirkwood qualified seventh but like McLaughlin thought he was impacted by traffic ahead of him in the second round of qualifying. As a consolation, the driver who stands second in the standings (93 points behind Palou) will be one of the highest qualifiers with two sets of new Firestone Firehawk alternate tires for the race, and that should be an advantage. Santino Ferrucci has been the hottest non-winner in the field the past four races. Despite having an average starting position of 18.25, the driver of the No. 14 Sexton Properties/AJ Foyt Racing Chevrolet has finished fifth, second, fifth and third, an average finish of 3.75, helping him climb to ninth in the standings. He qualified 17th for Sunday's race. Marcus Ericsson's season continues to be a struggle. Twenty-first in the standings, the driver of the No. 28 FOX INDYCAR Honda of Andretti Global saw the front of his car slam the right-side barrier at Turn 14 in practice. Repairs were made, but Ericsson could only manage to qualify in the 11th position. Ed Carpenter Racing's Christian Rasmussen qualified 10th, but the No. 21 ECR Splenda Chevrolet will move back six positions for the start of the race due to an unapproved engine change following last week's test at Iowa Speedway. recommended
