    Will power is so underrated as a personality in this sport. In my eyes, there needs to be an indycar docuseries just like one that just came out about nascar. There are so many brilliant personalities in this sport that deserve a spotlight with the veterans like Power and Dixon not being able to show it.

    Great story on Will Power. One thing to note. F1 had a Las Vegas Grand Prix back in the early 1980’s.

    I remember even he won the Indy 500. I wasn't a fan of Indycar back then but I remember thinking that was the coolest name I've heard in any sport and he now has an Indy 500 win. Absolute legend!

    He brought back the double birds last year. He waved them at Scott Dixon after their practice crash at Road America lol
    Something rarely brought up is Will Power was somewhat of Mark Webber's protégé. Power doesnt come from money and had basically nothing in Europe. He was using alot of hand me downs from Webber. Webber wrote in Power's book that had he had some sort of financial backing he would have been an F1 star.
    Power's brother Damien is a pretty well known comedian in Australia and somewhat in the US. He has a really funny bit about his brother. Usually if you look up Damien Power on RUclips its the first thing that shows up

    I was at the practice and qualifying sessions for that 2011 225, seeing those cars going around Loudon was something else, even knowing what nascars looked like going around there. There's still that mark on the turn 2 wall to this day, and I watched that impact.

    I came into Indycar too late for Will to be my favourite driver, but man is he an iconic figure. This sport needs more big personalities like Power. Always rooting for him so long as Pato doesn't stand a chance to beat him.

    Gotta admit, during Will's dark years where he continued to bottle it on the ovals & couldn't secure the championship there was 'You can't be the Indycar Champ if you can't win on ovals" But we knew how fast this guy was, he must have had some sort of head game going on. Driving ovals is a different skill, but this guy's too good a driver to continue to fail. He finally got rid of his case of the Yips and is one of the best all around drivers in the sport

    When his engine has a problem you never sail to see people say "Will has no Power". Honestly drivers like him are what make series and it's frankly disappointing we don't see more in series like F1 and NASCAR these days given how even just in the 00s they seemed to be everywhere.

      @@DylanJamesGP He does have a good sense of humor too. This past August at Indianapolis for the double header with nascar the drivers did a walk from the drivers meeting to driver intros. He randomly shows up after the rest of the drivers already had been through and looks at the aisle way made for the drivers and wonders if he should’ve been in that. So he takes his Segway hopes over the rope then rides it to driver intros acting like the whole thing didn’t happen.
