IRL
By Will Power
Well, the 2009 season was certainly one that I will never forget. For many reasons, this was one of my best seasons in racing. That may sound a bit strange, considering I only competed in six races, but I really learned a lot this season and I know that all of the experiences will make me a better driver in the long run.
MOORESVILLE, N.C. (November 19, 2009) - Penske Racing announced today that winning open-wheel racer Will Power will compete in a full-season entry for the team in the 2010 IZOD IndyCar Series, driving the No. 12 Verizon Wireless Dallara/Honda.
Joining forces with Team Penske teammates Helio Castroneves, a three-time Indianapolis 500 winner, and Ryan Briscoe, a top contender for the 2009 IndyCar Series championship, Power will complete a powerful three-car lineup in 2010 for Penske Racing.
This past season was the best of my career even though I fell short of the IndyCar Series championship. If nothing else, it was a breakthrough season for me as I was able to run consistently at the front of the field and be a constant contender for the title. That was great.
Ryan Briscoe produced a stellar performance when he needed it most on Saturday, but fell just short of winning his first IndyCar Series championship. Briscoe and the No. 6 Team Penske squad had the fastest car and led the most laps in the Firestone Indy 300 Saturday night, but the team finished second overall and third in the series championship standings at the conclusion of the season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
HOMESTEAD, Fla. (October 9, 2009) - Though he didn't earn the pole on Friday, Team Penske's Ryan Briscoe is still in position to win the IndyCar Series championship Saturday night at Homestead-Miami Speedway.
Briscoe will start third in the Firestone Indy 300 on the 1.5-mile Homestead oval after a typically fast performance in the No. 6 Team Penske Dallara/Honda. Briscoe recorded a four-lap average of 212.137 mph, just a tick behind his two closest competitors in the championship race.
