In an emotionally charged moment that left fans and fellow commentators stunned, Danica Patrick broke down in tears during a live IndyCar broadcast ahead of the 2025 Indy 500. Speaking with uncharacteristic vulnerability, Patrick revealed a deeply personal story involving IndyCar legend Will Power and his wife, Liz, that has remained hidden from the public for years.
Fighting back tears, Patrick shared how Liz Power had quietly battled a serious health condition over the past several seasons — something only a close inner circle knew. “Behind Will’s fierce determination and championship spirit was a quiet storm,” Patrick said. “Liz was his anchor. She was enduring something unimaginable, yet never let it show to the outside world.”
What truly moved Patrick was the depth of Will Power’s devotion. During the 2023 and 2024 seasons, while fans marveled at his performances on the track, Will was privately juggling the demands of racing with constant worry for Liz’s health. “He would fly back after practice just to be by her side in the hospital,” Danica revealed, her voice cracking. “And she—through it all—insisted he keep racing.”
As the 2025 Indy 500 approaches, Liz is reportedly in remission, and Will Power enters the race not just as a driver but as a man deeply transformed. “This race isn’t just about speed or winning,” Danica said. “It’s about love, resilience, and the quiet strength behind the wheel.”The powerful revelation added a deeply human element to this year’s race, reminding fans of the sacrifices made far from the spotlight—and the silent battles waged behind every victory.
