Will Power headed a Penske 1-2-3 on the second and final day of IRL testing at Barber Motorsport Park.

Will Power, who suffered compression fractures to two lumbar vertebrae and a concussion in a crash during practice for the Indy Grand Prix of Sonoma at Infineon Raceway last weekend, remained at Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital on August 24.

Will Power justified Roger Penske's decision, not only to sign him as stand-in for Helio Castroneves at the start of the year, but also to increase his schedule in the #12 by claiming a maiden IndyCar Series win on the runways of Edmonton airport.

1. Will Power Penske 1m 10.5486 100.424mph 2. Scott Dixon Ganassi 1m 10.6678 100.255mph 3. Raphael Matos Luczo Dragon 1m 10.8247 100.033mph

With nearly four months having passed since the final chequered flag of the 2008 season, those with confirmed or anticipated drives in this year's IndyCar Series are counting the days to the time they can get back behind the wheel.

Helio Castroneves insists that he would be ready to jump back into the cockpit of his #3 Team Penske entry at any point should the outcome of his pending tax evasion trial go in his favour.

The success enjoyed by the unified IndyCar Series this season has provided many positive storylines but, for one stalwart of the leaner years, Sunday's Chicagoland finale may have been the downside of this year's growth.

The following is a statement from Team Australia's Craig Gore, following ongoing statements and accusations in the media from his former partner Derrick Walker.

Team Australia co-owner Craig Gore has pledged to keep the initiative running in the Champ Car World Series this season, despite announcing that he is to wind down his V8 Supercar operation at home.

Australian driver Will Power topped the testing times at Knockhill today, Friday, for this weekend's AVON Tyres British F3 Championship.
