Will Power started the Bommarito Automotive Group 500 from pole position for the first time in 2025, aiming to show he could still win, but unfortunately faced a setback during the race. Power lost the lead early to David Malukas, who is rumored to potentially replace him in the future.
Despite initially running in second place and conserving fuel, Power encountered a right-front tire failure on lap 47, forcing him out of the race and into the garage in 27th position. Disappointed by the outcome, Power expressed sympathy for his team and reflected on his near-victory experience at the event.
With rumors swirling about his future at Team Penske, Power’s qualifying success and championship credentials have kept him competitive, but the pressure is on for the winless driver in his contract year. While Malukas led the race in Power’s absence, the veteran driver remains hopeful for future opportunities to secure a victory.
