IndyCar Looking Ready to Go After Phoenix Test

Although the weather was unrepresentatively cold, Firestone is happy with the race tire for IndyCar’s first time at Phoenix Raceway in eight years. It’s important that everybody get this right because it’s a double-header with NASCAR, so it presents a critical opportunity to get IndyCar back in front of most American motorsports fans.

This test was also the on-track debut of Will Power at Andretti Global. In most top-level racing series, changing teams and cars after almost 17 years might seem terrifying. In IndyCar, though, it’s pretty much the same deal, given that everybody’s been driving the same car since 2012. No, seriously, it’s actually pretty momentous. This time last year, we thought Will might be heading into his last season in IndyCar, and now he’s driving a Honda and going to kick Penske’s ass.
