// IndyCar Series champion Will Power has lashed out at Scott Dixon and Romain Grosjean for separate incidents at Road America, offering the latter "a punch in the face". Power was the victim of a scary crash in practice when Dixon swerved into the path of the Team Penske driver, leaving him nowhere to go. The pair collided, sending the Australian driver into the concrete wall while the Chip Ganassi Racing pilot suffered significant damage to his car too. Stan Sport is the only place to watch the 2023 IndyCar Series, featuring Will Power, Scott McLaughlin and Scott Dixon. All the action streaming ad free, live and on demand Power was none too happy with the New Zealander, shoving him as he vented his frustration. It was the last of three incidents for Power in a dramatic practice session. Earlier, Andretti Autosport's Grosjean faded into the path of Power and forced him off the road to avoid making contact. AS IT HAPPENED: First Test, day two from Edgbaston HIGHLIGHTS: England, Broad crushed as centurion bowled off no-ball READ MORE: Root rides stupendous strokeplay to century Shortly thereafter, Power went off the track of his own accord and bounced across the grass. After repairs were made to his car, Power struggled in qualifying and failed to make it out of the first leg, meaning he'll start a lowly 21st. Ironically, Dixon will start just behind him in 22nd while Grosjean starts just ahead in 19th. Power was left incensed after what was a dramatic day, offering terse words for Dixon, Grosjean, and the circuit management. "This track is terrible when you go off," said Power. "They do a terrible job here, they need to pick up their game. Whenever you go off you almost break your back every time. "I've done it a couple of times this weekend. They need a kick in the butt for this place. "Just pissed at what Dixon did this morning. It's just ruined our whole weekend. Just a terrible move all up. "The guys did a great job. We got out there, did everything I could, it's just so hard in this field if you're behind the eight-ball and you're not sure – where it's new front wing, new floor, you don't know where the aero balance will be and the balance all up. "Man, frustrating, because we felt like we were really quick this morning, but yeah… just disappointed with what happened, really disappointed – and Grosjean is a piece of crap, if you saw what he did in practice. He needs a punch in the face." While Power, Dixon, and Grosjean struggled in qualifying, some of their teammates thrived. Andretti Autosport driver Colton Herta will start on pole position alongside McLaren's Pato O'Ward. Chip Ganassi Racing's Alex Palou wound up third while Josef Newgarden will start fourth for Team Penske. Three-time Supercars champion and Bathurst 1000 winner Scott McLaughlin was only 18th.
