Will Power Exits Team Penske After 17 Seasons, IndyCar Future Uncertain

Will Power, one of INDYCAR's most decorated drivers with 45 wins, two championships, and an Indianapolis 500 victory, will part ways with Team Penske after the 2025 season, ending a partnership that spanned over 15 years and included 42 victories and 71 pole positions with the team. Team Penske announced the split, emphasizing Power's outstanding contributions, while Power expressed gratitude for his time with the organization and indicated that a change was the right move for him. Power's future in IndyCar remains uncertain, with speculation about potential seats at Andretti Global or Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing, as he faces the challenge of finding a new team to continue his career. The decision came after an emotionally charged conclusion to the 2025 season, where Power and his longtime engineer shared reflective moments as the team dismantled their setup. Despite his age and the team's considerations, Power outperformed his teammates in 2025, though a costly pit stop error affected his final race results. Team Penske will announce plans for the No. 12 car prior to the 2026 season, leaving Power's next move a subject of keen interest within the IndyCar community.
