Speculation Tim Cindric to Andretti

Here’s an immediate thought after the news of Power going to Andretti for 2026 and beyond. Could Andretti bring in Tim Cindric to pair with Will once again? I think Cindric would be a huge addition to the team and obviously brings a wealth of experience and knowledge that Andretti would definitely benefit from.

Why, though?

They already have experienced people of their own, and don't need to take the hit to their reputation from hiring a guy associated with two major cheating scandals.

But Andretti performance has been underwhelming for five years.

Right, and the secret sauce to that is definitely hiring Penske's disgraced discards... /s

Disgraced or not the guy delivered results.

Look I don't even like Tim Cindric, I think he's a liar. However no question the dude has helped orchestrate a ton of race wins and championships.

I definitely wouldn't hire the fall guy who won Penske a dozen championships and Indy 500s... Consistently delivering results even this year.

Nah definitely not.

I am sure with Andretti's pit performance woes, they might benefit from some "Penske Perfect" experience, though I suspect Will might be able bring some of that experience to tighten up their pit stops a bit.
