Was Will Power always a second away from trying to beat another man to death when he was minorly wronged? I’ve seen other drivers get absolutely fucked over by others and they are mad but they don’t look ready for a NASCAR style brawl. #indycar #indy

By his own admission, Power was a tearaway as an adolescent, and used to get into fights quite regularly. He still explodes from time to time, but usually in the background or behind closed doors.

he has a hair-trigger temper. I heard him yelling "Go away!" at interviewers at one race last season where qualifying did not go his way.

Yeah I definitely recall someone doing reporting from the pit lane on Peacock was like “he doesn’t seem to be in the mood to talk” while they showed him storming around

They were engaging in understatement. By his own admission, Power was always getting into fights when he was growing up.
