Facing the media for the first time since a bout of firings within the leadership group after illegalities found on two of the team’s cars in qualifying for the 109th Running of the Indianapolis, each of Team Penske’s three drivers took a different approach.

IndyCar is working on creating an external officiating entity amid the ongoing optics challenge surrounding Roger Penske’s ownership of the IndyCar Series and Team Penske.

Following a rules breach which saw the No.2 and No.12 Team Penske entries fail technical inspection and denied participation in the Fast 12 qualifying session for the 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500, both Josef Newgarden and Will Power have been moved to the rear of the field for next Sunday’s race.
