Roger Penske’s life has been filled with momentous events, but for the 83-year-old international businessman nicknamed “The Captain” this year’s Fourth of July weekend will no doubt be one of his most unforgettable.
In a two-day span, he will make his debut as the new owner of the historic Indianapolis Motor Speedway and simultaneously become the only team owner with entries in all three major racing series competing this weekend at Indy and Daytona. He also owns the NTT IndyCar Series that’s participating in its first doubleheader on Saturday with NASCAR’s Xfinity Series at The Brickyard’s road course.
“It’s so fitting for Roger to own the speedway at this point in his life. So fitting for everything he has done for motorsports, especially everything that he has done for Indianapolis,” said Team Penske IndyCar driver Will Power, who owns one of Penske’s record 18 Indianapolis 500 victories.
