Will Power Shatters Pole Position Record Amid Stellar 2025 Season
World Wide Technology Raceway – Will Power, the seasoned driver for Team Penske, has made headlines yet again by securing his 71st career pole position, further cementing his status as one of IndyCar’s elite competitors. Reflecting on his performance throughout the 2025 season, Power stated, "I’m driving the best I’ve ever driven in my life," emphasizing his extraordinary form.
At 44 years old, Power continues to demonstrate exceptional skill behind the wheel of the No. 12 Chevrolet. His pole at World Wide Technology Raceway not only underscores his capabilities but also validates his consistent performance, as he has crossed the finish line first for Penske in five out of seven races this year.
Power currently sits fifth in the championship standings, leading all Penske drivers. He acknowledged the competitive landscape of IndyCar, remarking, "We’ve been quick all year… consistency this year will help you." Despite Alex Palou’s multiple wins creating a sizable points gap, Power remains optimistic, suggesting that a shift in race outcomes could make the championship lead attainable.
However, this stellar performance has not yet translated into a contract extension from Penske to secure Power’s services for the next season. He stated, “Anytime you’re P1, in any session, it’s just little bits of credit… People that can execute week in and week out… you’ve got to keep putting runs on the board.”
With his current momentum and unparalleled experience, Power continues to stand as a formidable force in the series, though stakeholders will be watching closely to see how contract negotiations unfold amid his remarkable season.
