In response to a cheating scandal surrounding the Indianapolis 500, Roger Penske has terminated team president Tim Cindric and two senior IndyCar officials. The cheating incident involved modifications to the cars of two-time defending winner Josef Newgarden and teammate Will Power, resulting in their disqualification from qualifying. Penske stated that maintaining the integrity of the sport is paramount and acknowledged organizational failures over the past two years. This incident marks the second cheating scandal for Team Penske in consecutive seasons, raising significant concerns among competitors and fans alike.
Penske emphasized, "Nothing is more important than the integrity of our sport and our race teams. We have had organizational failures during the last two years, and we had to make necessary changes."
Newgarden and Will Power were found to have an illegally modified part, leading to both being unable to qualify and starting positions at the back of the field.
