Will Power is determined to make Penske regret writing him off as he joins Andretti

Will Power left Team Penske after a prolonged replacement process and animosity, joining Andretti Global to lead and compete with renewed motivation, team officials said.

  • On Jan 18, 2026, Will Power signed with Andretti Global, team owned by TWG Motorsports and Dan Towriss, after Team Penske held him to a contract through Dec. 31 delaying his start until this year.
  • The opaque replacement process forced Will Power to face uncertainty through the 2025 IndyCar season as Team Penske chose 24-year-old David Malukas, while Power declined a late one-year contract offer, saying he was crushed by how the parting played out.
  • A record 71 poles and 71 wins underline Will Power's career, including an Indianapolis 500 victory and two IndyCar titles; he turns 45 as the season opens March 1 in St. Petersburg.
  • Spending a day in the Honda simulator earlier this week, Will Power tested in Phoenix and held a January meeting with Ron Ruzewski, Marcus Ericsson, and Kyle Kirkwood to set priorities.
  • Andretti's new pairing of Power and Ruzewski signals strengthened strategy, with Power saying, `There's nothing more I want to do this year than beat Penske every single weekend.
