An Indianapolis 500 champion. A two-time INDYCAR champion. Known as the fastest INDYCAR racer with a record 71 pole positions and 45 career wins, fourth on the all-time wins list.
Will Power has had the kind of career drivers dream of – and until 2026 he spent 17 years with Team Penske.
In news that shocked the racing world, Power and Team Penske parted ways at the end of the 2025 season and the 45-year-old Australian landed at Andretti Global. His roller-coaster ride and early struggles with a new team are explored in the latest episode of “All In” — a real-time docuseries from FOX Sports, INDYCAR and Shadow Lion.
“You’re in a contract year and that’s the year the team has a big fight,” Power said of his final year with Team Penske in the “All In” episode titled “Murphy’s Law.”
He noted that Roger Penske gave him the green light to explore opportunities with other INDYCAR teams, but did not get the discussions he sought from his own team.
“They didn’t even talk to me in the offseason,” Power said. “It definitely pissed me off. I would say it’s disrespectful to someone who had been there as long as I had.”
While Team Penske brought in David Malukas, Power found a new opportunity to build on his already legendary career with Andretti. Although he faced uncertainty about his future, he said he was attracted to Andretti’s resources, budget and potential.
“Everyone is very excited to see what Will can do behind the wheel of another car because he had been with Penske for so long,” INDYCAR on FOX analyst James Hinchcliffe said on the latest “All In” episode.
“We’ve never really seen him in anything different. You just never thought you’d see the day Will rocked up to the track in anything other than Penske gear. But he’s here and he’s hungry.”

But he hasn’t had the best of luck so far this season. Following Power around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway during the Indy Road Course weekend, “All In” captures a behind-the-scenes angle of Power starting at the back of the field and working his way to the lead, only to have a potential win slip from his grasp with a preventable penalty.
Power obviously knows what it takes to win and his motivation is not waning. But he’s eager for his Andretti team to break through and regularly contend for race wins, including Sunday’s 110th Indy 500.
“I think I’ve improved every single year of my career, but it’s really hard to tell what’s what because the competition has gotten so much tougher,” Power said on “All In.”
“You have to be able to adapt quickly.”
Featuring INDYCAR drivers and insiders – along with INDYCAR on FOX’s Hinchcliffe, Will Buxton and Townsend Bell – “All In” examines the biggest challenges, pressure points and high-speed competition in racing in the series. But each episode has its own focus on a driver, team or series story.
