Power Nears 230 mph

Welcome back, Team Penske.

Will Power and AJ Allmendinger led practice Saturday morning ahead of qualifying for the 97th Indianapolis 500.

Power pushed his No. 12 Verizon Dallara-Chevrolet to 229.808, just short of the first 230 mph lap at the Speedway in 10 years. Allmendinger, in the No. 2 Izod Dallara-Chevrolet, was just behind at 229.086 mph.  Allmendinger benefited greatly from a tow from Buddy Lazier on his lap.
None of the Andretti Autosport cars have practiced yet. Andretti dominated practice during the week.
