Team Penske and Verizon unveiled the new-look livery that Will Power will race in 2025, starting with the season-opening Firestone Grand Prix of St Petersburg, presented by RP Funding on March 2.
The big reveal occurred during Fox Sports NFL Sunday double-header to celebrate Fox Sports becoming the official home of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and the Indianapolis 500 starting in 2025. Speaking about the new look car, Team Penske President Tim Cindric commented saying:
“Verizon continues to utilize motorsports to reach their customers as one of the most recognizable brands within the NTT INDYCAR SERIES. This new livery represents the beginning of another chapter in the long-standing partnership of Team Penske, Verizon and Will Power. “Verizon is a leader in their industry, and we take a great deal of pride in the successes we have had together on and off the race track.”
The 2018 Indianapolis 500 winner is entering his 17th season with Team Penske and speaking about the partnership, VP of Partnerships with Verizon, Nick Kelly said:
“This bold, new livery reflects a new chapter in our partnership, showcasing the evolution of our brand and enduring connection with race fans. “We’re excited to continue this journey with one of the sport’s most accomplished teams.”
Power continues to add to a legendary INDYCAR SERIES career that places him as the all-time leader in pole positions with 70 and sole possession of fourth place on the all-time wins list with 44. His 41 wins throughout his Team Penske career put him fifth on a list of legendary drivers that have competed for the team. A total of 12 drivers have won multiple INDYCAR championships for Team Penske, with both of Power’s titles coming behind the wheel of the No. 12 Verizon entry.
Speaking about the news, Power said:
“It goes without saying that I owe so much of my success to Verizon. “They have been with me throughout my time at Team Penske, with a lot of success both on and off the track. We have run a variety of paint schemes in that time, but never one that stands out quite like this one. New paint schemes keep things fresh and add an extra level of excitement to an already exciting time to be in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES.”
