Will Power goes from dead last to the podium in manic Markham IndyCar race

Will Power's journey from dead last to the podium in the Streets of Markham IndyCar race was a testament to his tenacity and the efforts of his team. Starting in 25th place, the 45-year-old Australian navigated the challenging 2.19-mile street circuit to finish third in the Ontario Honda Dealers Indy at Markham. The race was far from smooth, with multiple incidents and miscommunications, but Power's relentless push and strategic pit stops played a crucial role in his result.

Power's crew had put in an all-night effort to repair damage from a Practice 2 crash and replace the engine before the race. Their hard work was evident as they made significant gains during the restarts, allowing Power to gain track position. However, his teammate Marcus Ericsson proved to be a formidable competitor, closing in on Power during the final stint. A miscommunication between Power and Ericsson nearly resulted in a collision during Turn 5, but their team worked to minimize the damage.

Despite the chaos and setbacks, Power managed to secure the third place finish, highlighting the strong rhythm building within the Andretti Global garage. With four podiums in a year, the team's performance has been impressive, despite the challenges faced throughout the season.
