Full Interview: Roger Penske has a vision for IMS and what his legacy will be

[@johnjones5354]

We are so very fortunate that Mr. Penske was willing to take on the challenge of the Speedway. It's great to have someone in charge who understands and cares about the facility, the race, and the series. That had been lacking for the last several years, and had been declining, really since Tony Hulman passed. Thank you Mr. Penske.

Just watching him and listening him talk just oozes honesty and character. He is real leader.👏

Rodger Penske - The best thing to ever happen to IMS!

[@Crackers2549]

Love the "Captain" and YES he is the greatest thing to happen to the Speedway....! Was there opening day for practice and the grounds look spectacular.... "The Racing Capital of the World"...! Thank you Roger Penske...GG...IN

[@pyootchnich]

Roger looks great, sounds great. Deserves all the success he has.

[@lukemontgomery9683]

I got to shake Rogers hand last weekend at the Grand Prix and very briefly talking to him. What a cool guy.

[@wheelsports87]

Watching this from Brazil!

[@bobcarr5497]

The captain is a icon for sure and very happy he owns IMS

[@deansynan7424]

Met Mr. Penske at Phoenix International Safeway. Good Man!!!

[@v12tommy]

I cannot think of a single person I'd rather have run the speedway, than Roger Penske. It'll be a sad day in racing, hopefully many years down the road, when he is gone.

[@revrossable]

yes has a senior he has clarity and performence

[@bigdadgo]

Great answers. Great man. Respect that he supports Trump too. 😳

[@TC-eo5eb]

This country needs Roger Penske as president.

[@boxterjeff]

The best of the best and a real family man. A true leader who gives credit to others. There will be another Roger S Penske. He gives so much anomalously.

I went to the indy track in sept 2021 for the scca National championship race for 9 days as a mechanic for a race team I was in ahhh the whole time there What a race track the track itself i wish i had that asphalt in my house Those screens everywhere are great the people working there were not only proud to be working there they were courteous and informative the homes and businesses all around the track The only negative i can come up with was the museum wanted $100 to go down into the basement

[@John-se5vc]

I love The Captain! When the news hit that "Penske OWNS the Speedway!", I said to myself "Re-do the restrooms, Mr. Penske!" And he did! Mr. Penske has his finger on the pulse, and there is no better man to lead IMS into the future.

[@bradschneider3013]

Would love to know ...1) did he get all the car inventory w/ track purchase? 2) does he feel he needs to compete with formula 1 and that's why he's aiming for more technology in Indy cars? 3) which is contrary to " keep it simple" to spur more 1 race teams.

[@jamesjordan4955]

Kinda chuckled when he said 134,000 tickets were sold in 2021. Seemed like there was 190,000 and loved it.

[@guillermoaquino4508]

El SR INDIANAPOLIS!!!

[@jamesrichardson3766]

Best of the best dont ever go all electric or you loose it all!!!!!!

[@waffen98]

GOAT

[@philking6444]

And that is why they call him the "Captain ". I can't think of anyone better to take IndyCar and the speedway in to the future. I know it sounds corny but what can you do.

[@David80-lc1xh]

Thee Captain

[@daviclar867]

That guy gets a lot less sleep than he says he does, or did.

[@mrbungle3310]

They should bring f1 on the road course,f1 is going to some bad american tracks,let them come to the brickyard

[@TC-eo5eb]

F1 was at Indy for several years. I attended the Inaugural F1 race there.
