A.J. Allmendinger has earned another ride from Team Penske without competing in his first IZOD IndyCar Series race
A.J. Allmendinger’s much-anticipated debut to the IZOD IndyCar Series saw the former Champ Car Series driver finish eighth in practice, but Team Penske President Tim Cindric was more concerned that his weekend performance may have been hampered by a new tire limitation rule that was put in place before Friday’s practice session
Drama punctuated the Honda Indy Grand Prix of St. Petersburg, the 2013 IZOD IndyCar Series season opener.
Will Power earned his fourth consecutive pole for the Honda Grand Prix of St. Petersburg – and the inaugural Verizon P1 Award.
