Will Power will be honored Saturday at the Victory Lap Celebration at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum for the NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship he secured for Team Penske last weekend. He joined Team Penske in 2005, serving as Helio Castroneves’ lead engineer for 12 years. Ruzewski was Power’s strategist, a role once held by Penske. Yes, championships are won by Team Penske with some regularity, but there are never guarantees in this competitive sport. Power and Faustino have worked every season but one since then – that was in 2009 when Power was first a stand-in for Castroneves and then a part-time Team Penske driver. Faustino has been the lead engineer for 65 of Power’s 68 poles in the series. “I’m sure there’s no stat book for race engineers,” Faustino said, laughing.
