Team Penske unveiled Jan. 27 the livery for the No. 12 Verizon Chevrolet that team newcomer David Malukas will drive in the 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season.
Malukas, 23, becomes just the second driver to race the No. 12 Verizon Chevrolet made famous by two-time series champion (2014, 2022) and 2018 Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge winner Will Power, who parted company with the team in September and signed with Andretti Global starting in 2026.
2021 INDY NXT by Firestone runner-up Malukas, a first-generation Lithuanian American from Chicago, made his NTT INDYCAR SERIES debut at the Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg in 2022, tallying five top-five finishes and 16 top-10 finishes in 61 races in which he has competed through the 2025 season finale. His skill at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has been noteworthy for a young driver; winning Rookie of the Year in the 2021 Indianapolis 500, taking the fastest lap of the race in 2022 and finishing second in 2025.
Malukas will make his Team Penske debut in the No. 12 Verizon Chevrolet at the 2026 Firestone Grand Prix of St. Petersburg on Sunday, March 1, live on FOX Sports, FOX One, FOX Deportes and the INDYCAR Radio Network.
