Here’s why Will Power is a Racing Hero

Every other member of Team Penske was disqualified from the first race of the IndyCar season, except Will Power. A technical infraction (a cheat code) on the Penske cars gave them the ability to use the turbo-boosting ‘Push 2 Pass’ during start/restart when the button is de-activated by series officials.

No. 2 Newgarden was stripped of his win and No. 22 McLaughlin was booted off the podium. But Will Power, who’s car had the same ‘cheat code’ activated, was actually moved up to second place from his original finishing position of fourth because he showed the integrity to follow the rules and not cheat.

Although Power had the ability to gain an unfair advantage, he didn’t use it. We call that WILL POWER.
