The recent signing of David Malukas to A.J. Foyt Racing may indicate the future direction of Roger Penske’s NTT IndyCar Series team, given the increasing influence of Team Penske through its technical alliance with Foyt. With Malukas joining Foyt in 2025, there is potential for him to showcase his skills for a possible promotion to Team Penske in the future. Will Power is set to return to the No. 12 Penske Chevy in 2025, affirming his commitment to continue racing and dispelling retirement rumors. Power’s recent success, being Penske’s championship winner in 2022 and a top performer in 2024, positions him as the team’s lead contender. While retirement is inevitable for Power, there is currently no indication that it will happen within the next year, as he continues to excel on the track. Team Penske is considering future talent like Malukas but will prioritize performance and readiness when planning for driver transitions.
