Will Power won the 102nd running of the Indianapolis 500 and ticked the final unmarked box on his sensational racing resume.

During Sunday’s sweltering race, heard here on 1230 KFJB,  he and Ed Carpenter managed to wrangle an Indy car that gave so many others fits. They avoided getting swallowed up in the mid-race crash spree that eliminated fan-favorites Danica Patrick, Helio Castroneves and Tony Kanaan. The two of them jockeyed for the lead, combining to pace 124 of 200 laps (Carpenter 65; Power 59).

However, it was Power who found himself in position to pounce with four laps to go. When Stefan Wilson and Jack Harvey abandoned their posts at the front of the field, diving into the pits for fuel, it was then that Power realized he was about to silence anyone who had ever doubted his greatness and his ability to win IndyCar’s crown jewel.
