Overview
- The split was confirmed two days after the Nashville season finale, ending Power’s run with Penske ahead of the 2026 IndyCar campaign.
- Power leaves with 42 of his 45 career wins, two series titles (2014, 2022), the 2018 Indianapolis 500 victory, and an IndyCar-record 71 poles for Penske.
- In 2025 he led the Penske trio in the standings in ninth, won at Portland, and lost a shot at the Nashville finale after a pit error.
- No successor has been named for the No. 12 car, though multiple outlets report AJ Foyt’s David Malukas as the paddock favorite; the team says an announcement will come later.
- Power’s 2026 destination is undecided, with reports pointing to possibilities such as an Andretti seat if Colton Herta departs for F2, as the driver market reshuffles.
