Roger Penske Career

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.

Multiple former teammates told The Associated Press that Gil de Ferran, the 2003 Indianapolis 500 champion and holder of the closed-course land speed record, died on Friday while racing with his son at The Concourse Club in Florida. He was 56 years old at the time. At the private course in Opa-Locka, Florida, Brazilian driver Tony Kanaan said he was with his son, Luke, when he pulled over and said he wasn't feeling well. Kanaan said de Ferran appeared to have suffered a heart attack and could not be revived. When de Ferran won the 2003 Indy 500 for Roger Penske, it was his third straight victory in the 'Greatest Spectacle in Racing' for Penske, who has now won a record 19 victories in the storious Memorial Day weekend race.

Penske Entertainment, which owns the track, is expected to sell a new car to Robin Matthews, according to a Indianapolis Motor Speedway spokesperson - even in the event of a collision. However, the wheel went soaring across the fence and the corner of the grandstand before landing in the parking garage, where it smashed Matthews' Chevrolet Cruze.
