Surfers: Wilson over Power in practice 3
Justin Wilson on the streets of Surfers Paradise |
Newman/Haas/Lanigan's Justin Wilson topped local favorite Will Power to lead final practice for the IndyCar Series' non-championship season finale at Surfers Paradise. KV Racing driver Power had dominated Friday practice, ending the opening day over a second clear of the field, but he couldn't quite match Wilson's 1:34.5072 Saturday morning.
Scott Dixon and his Ganassi teammate Dario Franchitti were 3rd and 4th with Helio Castroneves completing the top five.
IRL heroes Marco Andretti and Danica Patrick still struggled in 21st and 23rd places, their aspirations for F1 diminishing by the day.
