WILL Power has won his first IndyCar race in 16 months.
Power's great run at the Grand Prix of Sonoma continued Monday morning (AEST) when the Toowoomba driver won the race for the third time in four years after finishing runner-up in 2012.
The victory was Power's first win of the season and his first since April last year.
The result was controversial though as series contender Scott Dixon was hit with a drive through penalty that saw him drop from race leader to finish 15th.
Dixon was penalised for making contact with one of Power's pit crew as the New Zealand driver left his own pit box.
Dixon and Power were running first and second when they both took a pit stop at the same time.
Had Dixon been able to win the race, he would have closed the gap to series leader Helio Castroneves.
Power moved up to eighth in the drivers' championship with the victory.
