NASCAR Team Penske Racing
The Penske Racing team is owned and run by Roger Penske, and is an extremely diverse team, that is the racing division of the Penske Corporation. In previous years, Penske Racing has taken part in CART, road racing and even Formula One, but presently they are concentrating on ALMS, the Indy Racing League, and last but not least, NASCAR.
Penske Racing’s involvement in Indy Car racing started in 1968, with a stock block-powered Eagle and a driver named Mark Donohue. In 1969 they competed for the first time, at Indianapolis, and in the following three years, they were the team that everyone kept their eye on. Donohue won the race in 1972. Other team owners that were involved in USAC events such as Indy Cars and Champ Cars, got together to form CART, which is the Champion Auto Racing Teams. The participating owners were Pat Patrick, Dan Gurney and of course, Roger Penske. By the time 2006 arrived, Penske Racing had many successes under their belt. Successes that included winning open wheel races in CART and IRL 124 times, winning the Indianapolis 500 an impressive 14 times, and winning 13 pole positions at the Indianapolis 500. Penske Racing also walked away with 11 open wheel championships.
Due to an open wheel split following the CART season in 1995, the Penske Team was absent in the Indy 500 for five years. They announced their return in 2001. Which later led to Roger Penske leaving CART to race in the Indy Racing League. The open wheel racing division of the Penske Team has been located in Pennsylvania since the year 1973, but it was announced that following the 2006 IRL Season, that IRL and the teams’ NASCAR operations will consolidate at the Penske facility in Mooresville North Carolina. The operations had to be moved sooner than previously anticipated, due to a flood in Pennsylvania, in 2006. More announcements were to follow. In 2005, due to tobacco legislations, Penske Racings’ major sponsor, Marlboro, were leaving after sponsoring Penske Racing since 1990. Mobil 1 and Kodak will be sharing sponsorship of the IRL cars, from 2007.
