It was the first win for both drivers in 2015, a that has seen seven winners in eight races — only 500 winner has a second win under his belt, the season opener at St. Pete. Will we see another new winner on the oval at Texas?

POWER LOOKS TO WIN AT “HOME” TRACK: With a win at the Grand Prix of Indianapolis, finds himself a strong contender to repeat as IndyCar Series champion.
