Andretti Global is bringing in fresh leadership for its IndyCar team in 2026, appointing Ron Ruzewski as the new team principal. Ruzewski, a seasoned engineer and strategist, spent over two decades with Team Penske before joining Andretti. His impressive resume includes key roles as race engineer, race strategist, and managing director, serving some of IndyCar’s top talents like Will Power, with whom he won multiple championships and Indy 500s.
Ruzewski will take over from Rob Edwards, Andretti Global’s long-serving team principal and current COO. Edwards has played a central role in the team’s progress since joining over ten years ago, driving multiple IndyCar wins and maintaining a solid presence in the paddock. Instead of stepping away, Edwards will transition to a new challenge as Chief Performance Officer for TWG Motorsports, Andretti’s parent company. This expanded role will let Edwards oversee performance across various racing series, including NASCAR, IMSA, Formula E, and IndyCar.
The handover between Edwards and Ruzewski, partners since their early days at Walker Racing, promises a smooth transition. Adding to the excitement, Ruzewski will reunite with Will Power, who will join Andretti as a driver for the 2026 season. Power’s move to Andretti marks a new chapter after a long tenure with Team Penske.
Ruzewski’s arrival signals a new era for Andretti Global’s IndyCar program, with fresh perspectives and the ambition to build on the team's recent successes. As the team prepares for the 2026 season, fans and insiders alike watch closely, anticipating what the sharp mind and seasoned leadership of Ron Ruzewski will bring to one of motorsport’s most storied outfits.
