Will Power quickest in practice two in Toronto
Will Power jumped to the top of the times at the end of the second IndyCar Series Friday practice session in Toronto
The Penske driver's last-gasp 1m00.558s lap saw him depose Ganassi's Scott Dixon by 0.1075 seconds - though the Australian suggested that his burst of pace was only due to a late switch to fresh tyres.
Dixon's team-mate Dario Franchitti was next up, 0.4s off the pace.
Another late improvement saw rookie James Hinchcliffe take fourth place, in a highly-encouraging performance for Newman/Haas on his home track.
Tony Kanaan (KV) and Justin Wilson (Dreyer & Reinbold) completed the top six.
