Will Power Joins Andretti, Vows to Beat Penske in 2026

His move follows a Dec. 31 contract hold that delayed his start with Andretti.

Overview

  • Team Penske selected 24-year-old David Malukas to replace Power for the 2026 season.
  • Andretti appointed former Penske executive Ron Ruzewski as IndyCar team principal after his firing in the 2025 Indianapolis 500 cheating scandal.
  • Since beginning in January, Power has completed Honda simulator work, tested at Phoenix, and led debriefs with teammates and leadership.
  • While Power was held to his Penske deal through year-end, Malukas gained early seat time and integration at Team Penske.
  • Power is slated to race the Rolex 24 at Daytona with 75 Express in the GTD Pro class as part of his preseason program.
