Andretti Global has announced the hiring of Will Power to drive the #26 IndyCar entry starting next season, following his departure from Team Penske.
Power will be taking over the #26 entry, previously driven by Colton Herta for the past five seasons, as Herta transitions to an F1 test drive role next season.
This move marks the first team switch for Power in 17 years and his return to driving a car powered by a Honda engine since 2011.
The COO of TWG Motorsports, Jill Gregory, expressed gratitude to Herta and confidence in Power’s capabilities as a driver and cultural fit for Andretti.
At 44 years old, Power will become the oldest driver in the Andretti line-up, expected to bring valuable experience to help Andretti in their quest for another championship.
