Andretti Global Names Ron Ruzewski Team Principal for IndyCar and Indy NXT Beginning January 2026

His arrival reunites him with incoming driver Will Power.

Overview

  • TWG Motorsports announced that Ruzewski will lead Andretti’s Indianapolis-based IndyCar and Indy NXT operations starting in January 2026.
  • Rob Edwards will move into the role of chief performance officer of TWG Motorsports, working across the organization’s racing programs.
  • Ruzewski spent roughly two decades at Team Penske and was released in May after the team’s Indy 500 qualifying disqualification involving illegal attenuators that also led to exits for Tim Cindric and Kyle Moyer.
  • Power has signed with Andretti for 2026, and Penske retains his contractual rights through December, limiting early integration with his new team.
  • The transition comes with a compressed runway before the March 1, 2026 season opener as TWG ramps up its broader IndyCar push, including a new technical partnership with Dale Coyne Racing and a lineup featuring Power, Marcus Ericsson and Kyle Kirkwood.
