Two-time IndyCar champion Will Power is slated to make his debut at the 2026 Rolex 24 at Daytona, a highly anticipated entry into the prestigious endurance race. He will be joining his compatriot Kenny Habul's 75 Express team, piloting a Mercedes-AMG GT3 EVO. This venture represents Power's first foray into endurance racing in over two decades, with his last appearance being the 2003 Bathurst 24 Hour.
Power's participation was previously derailed in 2023 due to family health matters. However, following successful tests with the 75 Express team, including an IMSA-sanctioned test at Daytona International Speedway in November, he confirmed his plans for 2026. This shift also coincides with his move from Team Penske to Andretti Global for the 2026 IndyCar season, suggesting potential flexibility in his schedule.
The Australian driver expressed considerable enthusiasm for the GT car and the unique driving style it demands. Having known Habul for over 25 years, Power sees this as a long-held ambition finally coming to fruition. His return to sports car racing signals an exciting new chapter for the seasoned IndyCar veteran.
