American motorsport's gold standard team founder is to be honored at the Autosport Awards next month 🥇
Few figures in global motorsport have made as much of an impact as Penske, 85, who receives the award that was created to recognise the handful of very special individuals who have not only contributed a massive amount to the sport during a long career, but who will also leave a lasting legacy.
The Mooresville, N.C-based squad's latest titles in both INDYCAR and NASCAR have come in 2022, thanks to Will Power and Joey Logano, respectively, and this was also the year in which the team pushed past the staggering benchmark of 600 victories.

The team's original talisman, Mark Donohue, not only scored Penske's first Indy 500 win but also dominated Trans-Am and Can-Am.
In Australia's Supercars series, Team Penske, Dick Johnson Racing and Scott McLaughlin combined to take multiple titles before McLaughlin transitioned to INDYCAR, where after just one season, he became a winner. This proves the depth of McLaughlin's talent but also shows that despite owning both the INDYCAR SERIES and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway since 2020, Penske is a competitor who keeps his team sharp and who still recognizes prodigious potential.
"Apart from talking about drivers and racing, I usually stay quiet and just listen to Roger," he says."The bigger stuff about the sport itself, I'll have opinions, but whatever I think of, he's already thought of… usually months or years before it ever crossed my mind! That's how far ahead of the curve he always is, and I'm sure it's the same in his businesses. That's why Roger is still so successful.
