Ryan Briscoe
Versatile, committed and resilient very aptly describe Ryan Briscoe. He has driven competitively in numerous disciplines. Most recently he pilots an IZOD IndyCar series car for Team Penske. On his journey to his current position he has driven Aussie V8 Supercars, Grand-am proto-types, Le Mans proto-types, Champ Cars, Stock cars, A1GP and Formula One. At the relatively young age of 29, Briscoe has accumulated a vast amount of driving experience and racing knowledge.
Approaching his fourth year as a Team Penske driver, the native Australian is at the stage in his career where he is the most mentally and physically prepared to accomplish his goals of winning the Indianapolis 500 and earning the series title. Briscoe has led laps, earned poles and won races in each of his previous three seasons with the storied organization. Over the course of the last few seasons Briscoe has shown that he is a winner and that he is not only a great driving talent, but that he is an asset to the team and his teammates.
Will Power
Determination, focus and passion permeate Will Power’s very being. In 2010 he became a full-time entrant in the IZOD IndyCar Series driving the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske machine. Power unabashedly admitted that his sole focus was to earn a championship for Roger Penske. In his mind that is the best way to demonstrate his appreciation for the opportunity that Penske Racing has presented him.
Immediately the Australian native showed promise as he topped the speed charts during preseason testing at Barber Motorsports Park. He backed that performance up by winning the inaugural Sao Paulo Grand Prix. Power then earned the pole and the victory at the next race at St. Petersburg. He then earned poles at the next two events, finishing fourth at Barber and second at Long Beach.
During 2010, the newest edition to Penske Racing put forth an outstanding effort that was accentuated by a series leading five victories and a series record eight pole positions, one of which occurred at Iowa Speedway marking his first-ever oval pole.
