Will Power is determined to make Penske regret writing him off as he joins Andretti

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Will Power casually walked through the near-empty fan zone at Daytona International Speedway in a simple, white firesuit void of any Penske or Verizon Wireless logos. One of the winningest drivers in IndyCar history was practically unnoticeable at an unfamiliar track where few should have recognized the Australian.
