Team Penske Promotes New Leadership After Indy 500 Cheating Scandal

Following a high-profile cheating scandal involving illegal modifications on two Team Penske cars at the Indianapolis 500, owner Roger Penske fired the team's top three executives: president Tim Cindric, managing director Ron Ruzewski, and general manager Kyle Moyer. In response, Team Penske promoted longtime employees Jonathan Diuguid and Travis Law to lead the IndyCar and sportscar programs. Diuguid, with two decades at Penske and recent success as managing director of Porsche Penske Motorsport including multiple wins and championships in IMSA and WEC, was named president of Penske Racing Inc. Law, who joined in 2007 and has experience as a championship-winning chief mechanic and competition director, was appointed competition director overseeing IndyCar, IMSA, and WEC teams. Both bring a combined 38 years of experience and are entrusted with restoring the team's legacy and ensuring future success. The scandal has also intensified scrutiny on IndyCar's technical policing, given Penske's unique position as owner of the team, series, and Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
