I can make a case where the Pocono Raceway is Will Power’s playground. He won the ABC Supply 500 in both 2016 and again in 2017 before finishing runner-up to Alexander Rossi a season ago. Now, can he get back to victory lane in Sunday’s race at the Tricky Triangle?

“The Verizon Chevy team has been working hard to give me everything I need to run a good race, but we’ve just had some bad luck and mistakes we’ve been fighting against,” Power said ahead of this weekend’s race at Pocono. “However, it’s great to get back to an oval. Pocono is a track I feel really comfortable at. It’s really technical, so it’s a fun one for me to drive. Pit strategy is so important there so we’re ready for that. We’re going to do everything we can to go out there and just compete for wins.”

Power, is riding a 15 race winless streak, the second longest of his Indy Car career. The latest he won a race in a season was race No. 15 in 2013. This weekend is race No. 14.

Also, Power has won at least one race every season of his Indy Car career as well. That’s 12 straight years. Only Scott Dixon who now has won a race in 15 straight years has more.

Last race in Mid-Ohio, you could see the relief in Power when he won the pole for the Honda Indy 200 at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. He just wanted so badly to turn that into a win. Unfortunately, he was on the wrong end of tire strategy on his first stint and settled for a fourth place result.

This season is wearing on him. Mid-Ohio was a prime example. He’s watched his Team Penske teammates win seven times this season alone. They’re in the title hunt where Power (-148) is likely too far out.

He’s just had bad luck this year. He got into a couple of incidents in Toronto and finished 18th. He had a pit commitment violation in Iowa and finished 15th. He had a pit road violation in Indy and came home 18th. He had an ill timed caution while leading in COTA and a mechanical problem on his pit stop after and finished 24th.

One thing after another for Power. A win on Sunday would at least give him some momentum to end the year with because he’s the defending race winner at the next stop on the schedule next weekend in Gateway too. That’s all he’s after now.
