""Racing for Team Penske is the goal for every young race car driver, and I am honored to be one that gets to live out that dream," Malukas said in a statement. "Will Power is one of the legends of our sport, and the No. 12 Verizon Chevrolet is one of the most recognized cars on the grid. These are big shoes to fill, but I look at it as an opportunity because I know that it is one of the best teams in the paddock.""
""We are excited to add David Malukas as the next driver of the No. 12 Verizon Chevrolet," team owner Roger Penske said in a statement. "We feel that Team Penske will provide David everything needed to take the next step in his career, and we are confident that he will continue the great legacy of the Verizon Chevrolet.""
David Malukas will join Team Penske under a multiyear contract to drive the No. 12 Verizon Chevrolet previously piloted by Will Power. Malukas, 23, finished runner-up at the Indianapolis 500 and has three career IndyCar podiums, including the second-place result at this year’s Indy 500 after Marcus Ericsson was penalized. Malukas had signed with Arrow McLaren for 2024 but lost that ride after an offseason cycling injury. He recorded a career-best 11th in the standings with five top-10 finishes. Will Power, 45, will depart Team Penske and has signed with Andretti Global.
