Grand Prix of Indianapolis

Simon Pagenaud wins his second Grand Prix of Indianapolis

by

simon-2016-gpofindy

On an unseasonably chilly day, Simon Pagenaud remained scorching hot at the Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis, winning and taking a couple of familiar names to Victory Circle at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The No. 22 Menards Team Penske Chevrolet started on the pole, fell to third midway through the 82-lap feature then took the lead again on Lap 62 after a quick service on the fast Chevy allowed Pagenaud to surge to the front for good. He led a race-high 57 laps.

The win, by 4.4748 seconds over Team Penske teammate Helio Castroneves, marked Pagenaud’s third in a row in the Verizon IndyCar Series. In five races, the points leader has finished no worse than second.

“The car was fantastic once again. The balance was perfect all race. When we were in the lead, we were cruising … obviously we had a great last pit stop, too,” said the 31-year-old Frenchman, who also won the inaugural Angie’s List Grand Prix in 2014.

“It’s incredible to win three in a row like this, and here in Indy for me, it’s very special. I lived here for nine years, so this place is very special in my heart.”

James Hinchcliffe, Graham Rahal and Charlie Kimball rounded out the top five. Conor Daly, of Noblesville, Indiana, finished sixth after leading 14 laps midway through the race.

For Roger Penske, the winningest car owner in Indianapolis 500 history, Pagenaud’s win marked a second straight triumph on the 14-turn, 2.439-mile road course after Will Power won in 2015.

But for sponsor John Menard, the win meant even more. Team Menard cars were powerhouses at the Indianapolis 500 in the 1990s and early 2000s, winning three poles, but none of his drivers drank the winner’s milk. Menard got a Brickyard breakthrough when son Paul Menard won the Crown Royal 400 NASCAR race in 2011, but an Indy car win never materialized until today.

“It is very emotional, yeah. To see that performance today is unbelievable. Just unbelievable.” Menard said. “I’ve been through it all, just a lot of ups and downs over the years. So close so many times, then something happened, but this was like a picture-perfect race. Even when we were not leading, we knew we were going to be leading.”

The race had two cautions for a total of 10 laps, one from an opening-lap crash with Tony Kanaan and Sebastian Bourdais and the other when Bourdais pulled off course on Lap 38.

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is closed to the public on Sunday, then open Monday as practice gets under way for the 100th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil. General admission tickets are $15.

Fans attending Grand Prix of Indianapolis encouraged to ‘Plan Your Visit’

by

2016 Grand Prix of Indianapolis

Fans attending the third annual Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Saturday, May 14, are encouraged to “Plan Your Visit” at IMS.com/planyourvisit. The new and interactive IMS web page will be the home base for fans headed to the track for the entire Month of May.

On the Plan Your Visit page, fans will find an event schedule, track map, directions to the track and gate regulations. Fans can also find that information on the redesigned IMS Mobile app available on iPhone and Android App Stores.

“Plan Your Visit is a great resource for fans headed to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to see the stars of the Verizon IndyCar Series in action,” said IMS President J. Douglas Boles. “Make sure to visit the page before this weekend’s Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis and for all of the action at the track this Month of May.”

IMS has worked closely with the Speedway Police Department, as well as other law enforcement agencies to revamp certain parts of the traffic plan for IMS events. All Speedway patrons should be aware of the following to assure a successful Race Day:

  • Free public parking: Fans seeking to take advantage of free parking must enter through Gate 10 and access the facility via 30th Street. They will be directed to North 40 parking. This is the only free parking option and is available while space remains.
  • Pedestrian Gate Entry: The following gates are available for pedestrian entry and walk-up cash ticket purchases: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 South, 9, 10A and 12.
  • Gate 2 & Credentialed Parking: Fans should know that Gate 2 is not accessible via car without a credentialed parking pass. In addition, if you have a Turn 3 credentialed parking pass, you must enter through Gate 10 and not Gate 2.

Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis Race Day road closures

In an effort to increase the safety and security of race patrons, the Speedway Police Department will close Georgetown Road and 16th Street to all vehicular traffic during the running of the Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis.

Georgetown Road will be closed south of 25th Street beginning approximately one hour prior to the start of the race. After Georgetown Road is closed, no vehicular traffic, including placarded traffic, will be allowed to access the road way. Those race patrons with placards who are accustomed to entering IMS Gate 7 will have to enter through Gate 2 (W. 16th Street) or Gate 10 (30th Street).  Local residents who reside on this stretch of Georgetown Road are encouraged to make provisions for this temporary traffic restriction as vehicles will not be permitted to access Georgetown Road from McCray Street, 24th Street, and all other access points in this area.

Upon completion of the race, Georgetown Road will remain closed to vehicular traffic until the vast majority of race pedestrian foot traffic clears from the roadway (approximately one hour after the race).

In addition, 16th Street will also be closed during the Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis between Olin Avenue on the east to the 16th Street roundabout on the west from approximately one hour prior to the start of the race until the race concludes. In addition, 16th Street will not be accessible from Polco Street, as it will be blocked at 10th Street.

Traffic traveling east on Crawfordsville Road from the west will be turned around at the 16th Street roundabout. Traffic traveling west on 16th Street from downtown will be diverted south on Olin Avenue.

In addition, the Speedway Police Department wants local residents and motorists to be aware that a number of parking restrictions will be in place for the Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis weekend. For a complete list, visit http://www.speedwayin.gov/egov/documents/1460213339_28801.pdf

Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis weekend road closure restrictions and additional security measures are established to ensure the safety of residents, businesses and visitors during and after IMS events. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Speedway Police Department appreciate everyone’s cooperation during these temporary restrictions.

Additional resources and information

Drivers can learn the locations of work zones and highway restrictions by calling INDOT’s TrafficWise at 1-800-261-ROAD (7623) or viewing an online map at www.TrafficWise.IN.gov. ISP will offer updates on traffic and parking on Twitter and Facebook.

No coolers larger than 18 inches by 14 inches by 14 inches can be brought into the facility, which will be strictly enforced. Fans will be allowed to bring one cooler and one standard backpack or book bag per person.

2016 Grand Prix of Indianapolis Slated for May 14

by

2015-05-09-021

The third annual Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis is scheduled to run on Saturday, May 14, 2016, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis will once again feature the stars of the Verizon IndyCar Series and the Mazda Road to Indy developmental racing series competing in a full day of racing on the highly-acclaimed IMS 2.439-mile, 14-turn road course.

The Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis brings the excitement of Verizon IndyCar Series road course competition to the “Racing Capital of the World” in a package that is fun, affordable and family-friendly. Reigning Verizon IndyCar Series champion Will Power will look to defend his 2015 Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis title at next year’s event.

Will Power Wins From Pole at Grand Prix of Indianapolis

by

2015-05-09-038

Reigning Verizon IndyCar Series champion Will Power backed up his Verizon P1 Award and track qualifying lap record with a dominant victory today in the Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis.

Power, driving the No. 1 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet, led 65 of the 82 laps and won by 1.5023 seconds over Graham Rahal on the 2.439-mile, 14-turn Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course.

Power’s 25th career victory broke a tie with Bobby Rahal and Ralph DePalma for 16th on the all-time Indy car list and tied Gordon Johncock for 15th place.

Power is the fifth different winner in as many Verizon IndyCar Series races this season with the new aerodynamic bodywork platforms supplied by Chevrolet and Honda. He moved to second in the championship standings – five points (171-166) behind teammate Juan Pablo Montoya, who earned his third podium finish of the season – entering the 99th Running of the Indianapolis 500 Mile Race on May 24.

“I’m halfway there. The Indy 500 is on my mind and I’m very determined to get it done,” said Power, who seeks to become the first driver to win on the road course and 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval. “In this race, the first lap was as fast as the last lap. Honestly, I think it was staying ahead at the start and the restart and then it was managing that traffic and just the pit sequence.

“My crew did an awesome job and saved enough fuel there at the end with Graham coming hard. I’m really happy to win here at this awesome facility. I just want to get onetwo weeks from now.”

Rahal, carrying the Honda banner in the No. 15 Steak ‘n Shake entry for Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, was runner-up for the second consecutive race.

“The pit stops were good, we were able to make some moves when we had to. I gave it everything I had, just as Barber (Motorsports Park on April 26), to catch Power. He was just a little too strong,” said Rahal, who qualified 17th.

Four-time Indy car champion Sebastien Bourdais finished a season-high fourth for his third consecutive top 10 in the No. 11 Team Mistic E-Cigs-KVSH Racing Chevrolet, and Charlie Kimball advanced nine spots from to his starting position to finish a season-high fifth in the No. 83 Novo Nordisk Chip Ganassi Racing Chevrolet.

For the second time in three races, there was only one caution flag. A full-course caution was called on Lap 1 as multiple cars were involved in an incident entering Turn 1.

The caution was costly for front-row starter Scott Dixon and Helio Castroneves, who qualified third in his 300th Indy car start. Following two caution laps, it was a sprint to the finish for the 25 entries, but Castroneves rallied to finish sixth and Dixon 10th.

2015 Grand Prix of Indianapolis Grid Set

by

2015-05-08-034

The starting grid is set for the second annual Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, with Team Penske’s Will Power taking the pole with a blazing run in Firestone Fast Six qualifying.

Power, the defending Verizon IndyCar Series champion, broke the IMS road course track record with a time of 1 minute, 9.4886 seconds. Scott Dixon, of Target Chip Ganassi Racing, will join Power on the front row after qualifying second with a time of 1:09.7156. A total of 25 drivers are in the field.

Saturday’s race will begin at 3:30 p.m. ET, rain or shine, and features excellent vantage points for fans whether they are in covered grandstand seats or on the various spectator mounds around the 14-turn, 2.439-mile IMS road course.

Drivers continue to rave about the layout, now in its second year after a 2013 refurbishing, which incorporates a portion of the famous oval.

“It kind of spoils us, this place, because it’s so smooth. It’s a really nice road course,” Power said. “It’s technical, it’s fun and it’s really good for racing.”

After the race, fans are invited to take part in a Track Invasion – namely, they can walk on the course moments after the drivers finish racing on it. There are various entry points around the course for fans to begin their “Invasion.”

Also, Bronze Badge holders may take part in a complimentary pre-race pit walk at 3 p.m.

Repeat bidder: Simon Pagenaud heads to Saturday looking for a repeat victory in the Angie’s List Grand Prix of Indianapolis. He qualified fifth in the No. 22 DeVilbiss Chevrolet.

This year, he is with a new team – Team Penske – giving the 30-year-old native of Montmorillon, France, confidence to repeat amidst a deep field. So far, the Verizon IndyCar Series has produced four winners from four different teams this season, including Pagenaud’s teammate Juan Pablo Montoya in the opener at St. Petersburg.

In 2014’s inaugural race on the IMS road course, he took the lead with five laps left and held off Ryan Hunter-Reay by 0.8906 of second at the finish.

“I had the key to success last year, but that doesn’t mean you have the key to success this year, because it’s all about competition here,” Pagenaud said. “Every day, you have to reset and try again. Obviously, I have a lot of confidence. It’s a track I like. We should be in good shape.”

As part of the Penske stable – which has won the Indianapolis 500 15 times – Pagenaud is also looking toward later in the month and a try at becoming the first driver to win both Month of May races at IMS.

“That’s my personal dream. It’s something I really want to accomplish,” Pagenaud said. “I’m in the team to do so. I have everything I need to make it happen.”
