Team Penske dominated the NTT IndyCar Series Group Test at Sebring International Raceway with Will Power and Josef Newgarden finishing 1-2 overall. The test was crucial preparation for all 27 full-time drivers before the season-opening Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on March 2. Power set the quickest time of 52.2549s with Newgarden close behind at 52.3191s in the cooler morning session. The entire 27-car field was separated by less than eight-tenths of a second over two days of testing. Scott Dixon faced challenges, finishing 13th overall after mechanical problems and a minor crash. It was a successful test for series newcomer PREMA Racing and a strong showing for Arrow McLaren with two drivers in the top six.
