Today’s question: What full-time 2025 NTT INDYCAR SERIES driver will take the biggest leap in the standings in 2026?
Curt Cavin: While I could see Christian Lundgaard vaulting from fifth to the championship, I think Will Power (photo, above, right) will statistically make a larger year-over-year standings improvement. Power was ninth last year for Team Penske, and while a title run with Andretti Global would be fun to watch, I think his ceiling is third place with two race wins. That would give him a gain of six spots, enough to take this honor. A darkhorse: Kyffin Simpson. He was 17th last year. Keep an eye on that one.
Eric Smith: I’ll agree with Curt and believe Lundgaard and Power will make jumps….
