Racing career
Penske's first racing venture was in hillclimbing, but then went road course racing in Porsches. Penske made his first competitive appearance at the now-abandoned Marlboro Motor Raceway in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.
He was a well-known racer by 1960 (Sports Illustrated SCCA Driver of the Year). He competed in two Formula One Grands Prix and took the NASCAR Pacific Coast Late Model Championship at Riverside in 1963. He never rode the Indianapolis 500: He was given a rookie test at Indianapolis but decided against it for business reasons; rookie Mario Andretti took the field for Penske.
Penske continued racing until 1965, when he resigned as a racer, to concentrate on his first Chevrolet dealership in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
