Will Power believes the 2014 IndyCar championship run-in is the first time that he can go into a title decider with “no weakness.”

The Team Penske driver was IndyCar runner-up for three years in a row, 2010-’12, twice losing in a final-round showdown. He leads the 2014 standings by four points over Penske teammate Helio Castroneves with just this weekend’s Milwaukee race, the following Sonoma event and the double-points Fontana finale remaining, and believes this is his best shot yet.

“Obviously it is truly about focusing on one race at a time, almost one lap at a time, one session at a time, trying to get the most out of it,” he said. “You’re constantly learning every year. I think that’s why some of those older drivers do so well because of the amount of knowledge they have in how to deal with certain situations and always putting themselves in good position. So experience counts.

“This is the first year where I feel like of all the tracks we go to, there is no weakness there. So I definitely feel confident.”

With 10 points between the reward for first and second place in an IndyCar race, and bonuses, plus the long-distance finale’s double points also available, Power thinks his current lead is relatively irrelevant.

“I’m not considering the amount of points that are on the table. Maybe those four points will count in the end, but it’s about a full season of racing and points,” he said. “It’s definitely a pretty tight year and in a funny way it’s still kind of early considering how many points are on the table.”

Asked if he would race thinking about the points situation, Power replied: “Actually, it’s probably time to start thinking about winning! At the end of the day, if we win two of the last three races or we win all three, we’ll win the championship. But it always depends on your situation at the time: where you qualify, how you’re running at certain times of the race.”
