When pressed, the car receives a sudden surge in horsepower, instantly catapulting drivers forward. Power boosts range from five to 20 horsepower. Already, the gimmick has been heralded as a success, helping to revive excitement in IRL ... Read Full Story

That's what we were looking for. It was really tough," Power said. "It's a great team to be involved with. I'd rather be doing select races than running at the back somewhere. I think we can have ...
