Power enjoys bubbly after winning Harvest

40

Penske's Will Power snatched his second win of the 2020 IndyCar season on Saturday, the Aussie enjoying a clean sweep on Indy's road course, the venue for the series' Harvest Grand Prix double-header.

Power dominated the field but had less than 0.9s in hand over Andretti Harding Steinbrenner Autosport's Colton Herta at the checkered flag.

But the focus yesterday at the Speedway was also on the championship battle between the current leader in the standings Scott Dixon and runner-up Josef Newgarden.

Thanks to a P4 finish on Saturday, the reigning IndyCar champ sliced Dixon's advantage to 32 points, with all to play for between the two drivers ahead of the series' showdown on the streets of St. Petersburg on October 25.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
