Coverage




ABOUT THE TRACK
The 1.8-mile, 14-turn circuit incorporates streets of downtown St. Petersburg and a section of runway of Albert Whitted Airport. After the long frontstretch, there's a tight right-hander into Turn 1 and then a quick left-hand turn. Plenty of drivers have gotten into trouble in these two turns over the years. There are two other long straights with braking zones that afford opportunities to overtake.

Actually when I was down in Florida a couple weeks ago, I drove down on the course just to get a feeling... I deliberately drove in the rumble strip there.. Don't judge, I got it bad.

Why?
Power isn't feeling well and they are testing him for a concussion from his crash.
