Power fastest again in final practice

Power fastest again in final practice

25 July 2009 / Results

Will Power's Penske shot to the top of the timesheets again in the third and final practice session at Edmonton on Saturday. The Australian lapped the Canadian circuit quickest from local man Paul Tracy as the second and third Penske cars completed the top four.

The trio of Penskes again achieved top four positions for the second Canadian race of the season as Helio Castroneves, who was fastest in the second session, finished third in this ahead of Ryan Briscoe. Tracy, ironically a former driver for Penske himself, delighted Canadian fans with second although a high-speed spin left mouths wide open in the grandstands.

Mario Moraes was sixth in the second KV Racing car with the two Newman/Hass/Lanigan machines next, courtesy of Rahal and Doornbos; Rahal's afternoon was also one of mixed results, though, after losing control and hitting a barrier which took the rear wing off.

Raphael Matos and leading British driver Mike Conway rounded out the top ten, although the latter also had a spin during the hour-long session. E.J. Viso's start to the day ended early when the HVM car went off on only his third tour.

Qualifying at Edmonton will get underway later on Saturday to decide the grid ahead of Sunday's race.
