IndyCar testing session at Sebring
Will Power topped the two-day NTT IndyCar Series Group Test at Sebring International Raceway, leading a Team Penske 1-2 finish with teammate Josef Newgarden. Power's fastest lap of 52.2549s in the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet came during the cooler morning session on Tuesday.
Newgarden secured second place with a time of 52.3191s in the No. 2 PPG Team Penske Chevrolet, while Monday's pacesetter Pato O'Ward finished third overall in the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet with a time of 52.3470s.
Notable performances included Marcus Armstrong's fourth-place finish (52.3675s) in Meyer Shank Racing's No. 60 SiriusXM Honda, and series newcomer PREMA Racing's impressive showing with Callum Ilott finishing eighth overall (52.4998s).
The entire 27-car field was separated by less than eight-tenths of a second over the two days of testing on Sebring's 1.67-mile "short course." The test served as final preparations before the season-opening Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on March 2.
Six-time champion Scott Dixon faced challenges during the test, completing only two laps on Monday due to mechanical issues and suffering a minor crash in Turn 6 on Tuesday morning. Despite these setbacks, Dixon finished 13th overall with a time of 52.6120s in the No. 9 PNC Bank Chip Ganassi Racing Honda.
