Although Team Penske’s Will Power is amid a winless drought that extends to a career-long 31 races, his pace and consistency have him feeling closer to championship-winning form.
The 43-year-old Australian – a two-time series champion – started and finished second in Sunday’s IndyCar round at Barber Motorsports Park, marking the 100th podium of career in 288 starts. During the post-race press conference, Power was asked by Motorsport.com if he feels closer to the form that won him the 2022 IndyCar title compared to last year, when his attention was rightfully more focused on the health and recovery of his wife, Liz, who was suffering from a serious illness.
Although Power hasn’t won since Detroit 2022, he has racked up 12 podiums over that stretch, including six runner-up results. While there was plenty of off-track drama with the penalties heading into the weekend, Power was also dealt some adversity after encountering engine issues in the morning warmup and forced a powerplant change just two hours before the race. He was also suffering from a bout of suspected food poisoning. “Yeah, we had an issue in warm-up,” Power said.
