Will Power tops Detroit IndyCar practice two
Will Power went quickest in the second practice session for this weekend's IndyCar race on the Belle Island street circuit in Detroit
On a track that had mostly dried out from the morning's heavy rain, the Penske driver posted a best time of 1m12.8355s, putting him just 0.09 seconds clear of Dale Coyne Racing's Justin Wilson.
Power's team-mate Ryan Briscoe was third-fastest, with Schmidt Hamilton's Simon Pagenaud and KV Racing's Tony Kanaan rounding out the top five.
The session was interrupted twice by red flags; the first being brought out early on when Ganassi's Scott Dixon lost the rear and spun to a stop in the middle of the track. He managed to avoid the wall, and went on to finish the afternoon sixth.
HVM's Simona de Silvestro was responsible for the other stoppage when her car came to a halt with seven minutes remaining.
