Will Power became the first driver to collide at the inaugural Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham during the second practice session on Saturday. The Australian lost control of his #26 Andretti Global Honda in Turn 10 and crashed into the tire barriers. The incident prompted a red flag with just over seven minutes left in the open portion of the practice session.
Power acknowledged his mistake, attributing the crash to poor grip off line in the preceding corner. He explained that he went wide in Turn 9, missed the turn-in, and ended up too shallow for Turn 10. The technical nature of the Turn 9-10 sequence on the green street surface proved challenging. Power expressed disappointment at losing valuable track time on a new circuit and emphasized the team's reliance on Marcus Ericsson and Kyle Kirkwood for the qualifying session.
The team opted to repair the damaged car instead of bringing out a backup vehicle, with qualifying set for 6:30pm ET.
