Will Power will be at Barber Motorsports Park in a few days. How about you?

Power, driving the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske car, won the 2011 Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama – the second race of the IZOD IndyCar Series season -- from the pole position. Of course, the transplanted Aussie will be looking to repeat in an effort to get a solid jump in the championship standings.
