INDIANAPOLIS — Will Power has furnished Team Penske with its 17th Indianapolis 500 victory. The 37-year-old Australian took the lead when Oriol Servia and Jack Harvey had to put for fuel with four laps to go. Power then held off pole winner Ed Carpenter to wrap up the win. It was Power’s second straight victory and comes on the heels of his road-course win at Indy earlier this month. With hot weather creating a slick, 2 ½-mile oval, new cars with less downforce proved to be a handful. And it cost a number of big-name drivers a shot at IndyCar’s most prestigious event. Last year’s winner Takuma Sato lost control and wrecked, as did Danica Patrick, Sebastien Bourdais, three-time winner Helio Castroneves and Tony Kanaan.
