Rear-Brake Failure Sends Will Power Into Wall, 23rd on Barber Grid

The team plans a fix before the Alabama Indy Grand Prix.

Overview

  • Power crashed during qualifying at Barber Motorsports Park and was checked and released at the medical center, leaving him to start 23rd.
  • After the session, he told Fox Sports the brake pedal went to the floor and that only the front brakes worked, indicating a rear-brake failure.
  • He said Andretti will find and fix the fault and insisted the car still has winning pace despite the back-row start.
  • The incident continues a rough run that began with braking and lock-up issues at St. Petersburg and Phoenix earlier in the season.
  • Andretti teammates Kyle Kirkwood and Marcus Ericsson qualified fifth and eighth, and Alex Palou secured pole position.
