Why Will Power is IndyCar champion and how he changed …

So Will Power has done it. The fastest IndyCar driver of his generation has nailed his second championship, eight years after his first. The man who scored five wins in 2010, six in 2011 and both times failed to clinch the title, has been victorious in 2022 with just a single win to his name… along with eight other podium finishes and three more top fours.

That’s made him hot property, too. Everyone who matters knows Power’s current Penske contract is up at the end of 2023 and that he’s still got ‘It’. In fact, he’s proven to have more than one ‘It’ because he’s added remarkable consistency to his still renowned pace. That’s why at least four IndyCar teams and one IMSA team have made enquiries about his plans for 2024 and beyond. Of course, Will won’t be speaking with them until he’s allowed, bound by the terms of his current contract. (Newer drivers take note…)
