Aussie Vineyards – Team Australia driver Will Power had a strong showing this weekend as he earned his best IndyCar Series finish with fourth place in the Honda Indy 200. The race was held at the Mid-Ohio Sportscar Course in Lexington, Ohio.
The #8 Team Australia IndyCar sported the Fox and Hound® Pub & Grill logo, as well as the Aussie Vineyards mark for the race, as part of a partnership between Aussie Vineyards and the restaurant group. The co-sponsorship extends to the IndyCar race at the Kentucky Speedway in August and was part of the Indy 500 race earlier this season.
Power’s previous best IndyCar finish was eighth on the St. Petersburg street circuit in April. He qualified 12th in the early stages of the Mid-Ohio race and was able to move up the order quickly as a result of pitting to change from slick tyres to wets on the second lap. Heavy rains just moments before the start of the race made strategy crucial.
Power and the Aussie Vineyards – Team Australia crew will be back in action next weekend for the Rexall Edmonton Indy in Edmonton, Canada as the former Champ Car venue hosts its first IndyCar Series event.
