Power Gets “Squashed,” but Apparently 100%

For those pondering the health (or lack there of) of Will Power after his back-breaking crash at Infineon Raceway in August, it appears as if he’ll be back on track in Sao Paulo at full strength—at least if his participation in an afternoon squash match is any indication.

According to a Twitter stream from his fellow IndyCar competitor (and squash opponent), Tomas Scheckter, Power lost the match but put up a good enough fight for Scheckter to remark (after some good-natured trash talking), “will is back in shape… his back seems in good shape.”

Great news for Will, Penske, and the IZOD IndyCar Series; not so good news for his competitors.
