Default IndyCar Series: Helio's seat given to Aussie Will Power

Will Power will join Team Penske's program for preseason testing with the balance of the season dependant on Helio Castroneves' court case outcome.

Will Power won the final Champ Car race, the 2008 Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach with KV Racing. He won three Champ Car races.

Seems strange for him to take such a tentative ride unless there is something not in the story.

Unless I'm out of date, KV racing isn't racing in '09, so Power doesn't have a ride of any kind. Any Penske ride is better than no ride at all.

Have a good one,
Mike

Last I heard that was correct. I guess there aren't many open seats out there but I just imagined that Power would be able to get a decent ride somewhere as a young guy with some proven talent.
