Excitement is building for the 2025 Indy 500, especially with the ongoing two-day test run at the legendary Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Veteran driver Will Power of Team Penske is determined to turn things around, following a rather disappointing performance last year. In a recent activity on his Instagram, Power discussed the adjustments he and his team are making in preparation for next month’s prestigious event.
The 2024 Indy 500 did not go as planned for Power, as he couldn’t complete the full race distance, finishing the race in a discouraging 24th place after 145 laps. However, the seasoned driver, who boasts a glorious career with 42 wins, 99 podiums, and the celebrated 2018 Indy 500 win, remains optimistic. This optimism is bolstered by a strong showing in the 2025 IndyCar season’s third round.
Power recently demonstrated his immense skill at the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach, securing a commendable fifth-place finish. After the race, he expressed his enthusiasm and insights about the exciting weekend via social media, showing just how important it is for him to regain momentum. The seasoned racer has been a staple in American open-wheel racing since 2008, yet the Indy 500 has eluded his victory grasp since his 2018 triumph.
As Team Penske continues their preparations for the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Power hopes to leverage his recent accomplishments to perform exceptionally. His #12 car will be put to the test, aiming to deliver the results he and his team are striving for in the upcoming race.
Currently ranking in ninth position in the drivers’ championship, Power trails behind his teammate Scott McLaughlin. This season, Power’s success in Long Beach has fueled hopes for a much-needed comeback at Indy, proving his readiness to conquer the challenges and make his mark on racing history once again.
The rapid advancement of Power’s preparations and adaptations could herald an intriguing turn around this year, offering a fresh chance to cement his legacy in open-wheel racing’s most iconic event.
