Andretti Global has hired Ron Ruzewski as team principal for its IndyCar and IndyNXT programs, following his 20-year tenure at Team Penske until his recent departure in May.
In light of Ruzewski’s appointment, long-time Andretti team principal Rob Edwards will be assuming the role of chief performance officer of TWG Motorsports, the parent company of Andretti Global.
Ruzewski’s signing comes in the midst of changes at Team Penske, where he was one of three leaders released due to the team’s disqualification from the Indianapolis 500 qualifying over an illegal attenuator issue.
The arrival of Ruzewski at Andretti coincides with the upcoming move of veteran driver Will Power from Penske to Andretti for the next season, providing a sense of continuity for both parties.
Ruzewski will officially start his new role at Andretti in January 2026, just in time to prepare for the first race of the 2026 season on March 1.
