Roger Penske's career began as a pilot in the early 60s, but in 1965 decided to create his own team, who first participated in some endurance races (including Daytona and Sebring) and then begin in 1968 with an Indy racing with the Eagle Mark Donohue driving, his driver reference in those early years. The first ever victory in the team scoring was done by Donohue in the Pocono 500 July 3, 1971. Made his first appearance at Indianapolis in 1969, within three years, his had become the team to beat, winning for the first time the 500 miles with Donohue in 1972. Since then win the race symbol of the United States for a further 14 times, with Rick Mears (1979, 1984, 1988, 1991), Bobby Unser (1981), Danny Sullivan (1985), Al Unser Sr. (1987), Emerson Fittipaldi (1993 ), Al Unser Jr. (1994), Helio Castroneves (2001, 2002, 2009), Gil de Ferran (2003) and Sam Hornish (2006). By comparison, the second most successful owner in the history of Indianapolis is Lou Moore, who won four times in the 40s. In 1971, Penske Racing made its debut in Formula 1 with Donohue in the Grand Prix of Canada. In 1974, will build its first car, the PC-1, which always debut in Canada and two years later will get their first win in Austria thanks to John Watson.

In 1978, along with Pat Patrick Roger Penske, Dan Gurney, and many other owners who had participated in events organized by the then USAC (United States Auto Club), create the Championship Auto Racing Teams (CART), which will be part of until 2002 when he moved to the IRL (Indy Racing League), the class created six years ago by Tony George and that he still runs the IndyCar Series. In the late '70s and '80s, collaborating with legendary drivers such as Tom Snow clearance, Mario Andretti, Rick Mears, Bobby Unser, Al Unser Sr. and Danny Sullivan, the Penske Racing team has established itself as the top team of Indy racing. The fact that we build the cars on their own instead of relying on traditional manufacturers of that era as Lola and March, will become a trademark and allow many exploits, and in our country will guarantee him the nickname "the Ferrari of America" . Sneve In 1977 Tom became the first driver to score an average of more than 200 mph around the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. In 1988, Penske will be the first (and still single) owner to monopolize the front row at Indianapolis, with Rick Mears (who will win the race), Danny Sullivan and Al Unser Sr..

The year 1978 marks the debut of what is perhaps, of all the great drivers that have raced for Penske, is the pilot symbol of the team: Rick Mears. A 15-year career (all of them passed with Penske), Mears will win with 4 wins (a record he shares with AJ Foyt and Al Unser Sr.) and 6 pole position (record) to the Indy 500, 3 titles, 40 wins and 29 pole positions CART. The partnership between the two lasts to this day: after his retirement in 1992, Mears has continued to work for Roger Penske as driving coach and counselor. The relationship between the two is explained by the same Penske, who in his biography of Mears says: "Rick was one of the pilots with more accurate and clean in the history of racing, and one of the best. It 'was always the same, when he won his first race, or his first Indy 500, or his fourth Indy 500, has always been the same type of person. He always said, 'I put my number in front of everyone, and let the others talk about this'. Mears has never had an ego. Rick has always been a team player. " Especially significant are two of the four victories together in Indianapolis. In 1984, Mears and Penske were forced to leave their chassis, which has proved inadequate in the first two races of the season, to go to the March and win the race. In 1991, Mears (who previously had suffered a terrible accident, which still bears the marks) had an accident 16 days before the Indy500. Despite that, he was able to get pole position, the sixth of his career, and the victory, the fourth, at the end of a memorable duel with Michael Andretti.

In the '90s, reflects the power of Penske, with three drivers like Emerson Fittipaldi, Al Unser Jr. and Paul Tracy. In particular, the 1994 season proved to be one of the most dominant in the history of Indy racing (usually, by nature, reluctant to dominate by one team). The new Penske PC-23 racked up 12 wins in 16 races, collecting 10 pole positions and 28 podiums with Unser, Fittipaldi and Tracy. Particularly significant, and controversial, the month of May at Indianapolis. The Team Penske showed up, instead of the normal-Ilmor Indy V8, with the new Mercedes engine, using a standard created for the stock engine block as the Buick V-6, were equipped with extra power than normal (about 1000 horses). Al Unser Jr. and Emerson Fittipaldi dominated the race, with Unser, who won his second Indy 500 after he inherited the leadership from Fittipaldi finished wall as he was dubbed a few laps to go. In the end the only driver to finish in full swing was the rookie Jacques Villeneuve. This mischief was, however, paid a high price. In 1995, Unser Jr. finished second in the league behind Villeneuve in the same, but the year was tarnished by the terrible shame of failure to qualify at Indianapolis (Unser became the first defending champion to fail the objective). No longer able to use the Ilmor-Mercedes engine, both Penske drivers, Fittipaldi and Unser, suffered a huge aerodynamic instability, and although they tried to qualify with other cars (Lola and Reynard) taken by other competitors, failed tremendously. Penske was a humiliation for heavy, even more exacerbated by the fact that the year after the Indianapolis 500 became part of the newborn IRL championship, while Penske was like all the great teams in CART, and had to wait five years before back to racing (and winning) in Indy.

A new generation of great drivers have increased the prestige of the team in 2000. Gil de Ferran won two CART titles in 2000 and 2001, and the Indy 500 in 2003, the Basilian pilot, 28 October 2000 during qualifying for the Marlboro 500 at California Speedway, will set the world speed record for the ride faster on a permanent circuit, getting the pole position at 388.537 km / h driving a Reynard-Honda (for which the team had abandoned the self-made frames, partly because of the tragedy that struck in 1999, Gonzalo Rodriguez, the second race with Penske, who died in an accident at Laguna Seca). Helio Castroneves won the 500 race three times, in 2001, 2002 and 2009. In 2001, Penske decided to move to the Indy Racing League, first in Indianapolis and then running only as part of the category from full-time next season. In 2004, after having fought for and won for two years (2001 and 2002) the title, his second against the drivers of Penske, Sam Hornish was hired to replace de Ferran, who retired. In 2006 Hornish gives the team its first (and so far only) in the IRL title, also winning the Indianapolis 500 in an incredible sprint finish with the young Marco Andretti.

Since 1972, Penske is also involved in NASCAR. The team debuted in Riverside, California, with Mark Donohue driving always. The team participated part time in the league for a few years before the first season to play full time with Bobby Allison in 1976, finishing in fourth place in the league. In 1980, the team will host two races with rookie Rusty Wallace, who finished second in his first race, behind Dale Earnhardt. After eleven years of absence, will return to Penske in NASCAR in 1991, again with Wallace. In 2008 the team won for the first time the Daytona 500 race, with Ryan Newman before his teammate Kurt Busch.

In 2005, after more than 30 years of absence, Penske is back to its roots endurance, where he won the 24 Hours of Daytona debut in 1969. In April of that month because Penske announced an agreement to deploy two new Porsche RS Spyder LMP2 class in the American Le Mans Series. The triumphant return was immediately revealed, thanks to the conquest of the securities class with Lucas Luhr and Sascha Maassen in 2006, and Timo Bernhard and Romain Dumas in 2007 and 2008. Bernhard and Dumas in 2008 (along with Emmanuel Collard) won an outright victory in the 12 Hours of Sebring, the first and only succeed in driving a prototype of the LMP2 class. The team then moved to Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series, where he has always competed in 2009 with Bernhard and Dumas, with a Porsche Riley driven.

The year 2010 promises to again very busy for Penske. In the IndyCar team should work alongside the traditional two cars for Castroneves and Ryan Briscoe for a third Australian Will Power. Will be deployed in three cars in the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Kurt Busch, Hornish and Brad Keselowski, while the Nationwide Series will be composed of two very promising young Justin Allgaier and Parker Klingerman, while the Grand-Am program will be cut to put on the third car IndyCar to Power. With such an array of drivers is a good bet that the victories of Roger Penske will increase further. History has taught us over the years at all levels, winning is a tradition for Penske Racing and the 2010 season promises to add another exciting chapter in the history of this true legend of motor Stars and Stripes.

He told me: 'Why do not we try to do something together?' So we started to move and we managed to find funding. Will run in markets in major cities and we will try to build something on this deal. We have a solid team, so I'm excited for the opportunity. "
