INDYCAR: Reigning IndyCar champion Will Power shoved Scott Dixon after the two were involved in a crash that severely damaged both cars during practice at Road America in Elkhart, Wisconsin.

Power then got out of his car, exchanged words with Dixon and shoved him in the chest. Power later kicked the air in frustration.
