'The brake just went to the floor,' Power said after he was cleared from the infield care center. 'I think the fronts were working so it was a brake failure on the rear. That’s all I know.' Power maintained that the car was still good despite not having a 'clean lap' during the race weekend so far. He will start 23rd when it’s time to go green on Sunday.
