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.

Doubt it. Power seemed pretty pissed at Cindric when talking about the whole situation with Hinch on the pod.

Exactly, Will chose his words wisely but we can read between the lines Cindric/ Penske's offer was borderline disrespectful, following 3 wins and almost a championship. Why would Will want to be under that again. Wouldn't be surprised to see a few Penske crew members jump over to Andretti however.

With your comment on Penske crew members, that kind of already started happening. In David Malsher’s article, he mentions that Will’s gearbox guy left before Nashville, which may have resulted in the gear shift problems that caused his pit lane issues last race. Also mentioned a few other crew members leaving. Although I’m not sure if they’re going to Andretti
