Joey Logano breaks the silence over the Penske fraud scandal and admits that it will also affect the Nascar page

Team Penske's IndyCar operation was intensively examined this week. The cars of two of his drivers, Josef Newgarden and Will Power, were brought with them during the qualification meeting for the Indy 500 illegal modifications.

As a result, severe punishments were raised and the cabbage has been on fire since then. Joey Logano, the champion of the defending champion of the Cup series, believes that the Fallout could also affect the team's NASCAR operations.

He said to the press on Charlotte Motor Speedway, “We are in the same building, so there are some parts together. If we go to some production, the engineering, these types of things, there are some people together. If we look like this, it will affect us? Obviously it will do it.”

Nevertheless, Logano claimed that team owner Roger Penske visited everyone and ensured that the way of thinking was strong within it. He also expressed clarity about the need to advance and concentrate on the job present. Logano is currently the ninth driver of the Cup series and is waiting for his second victory of the season.

Why is Team Penske under fire?

According to the rules of the IndyCar series, the majority of the Dallara DW12 may not be modified. The chassis of the car comes from Italy and more than 90% of its parts should remain unchanged forever after installation. Team Penske was found last Sunday with changes to the rear fall structures of his car.

The fillers were applied to the seams on the rear dampers and coated on the sides to create a smooth surface for the air. These modifications were illegally illegally illegally illegal by the Indycar Technical Inspection Group and the inspectors did the dampers during the preparatory test in the technology garage.

Ultimately, Newgarden was moved to start the Indy 500 from the last row. The same applies with electricity. The campaign also coordinated championship points for their top 12 positions and scored $ 100,000 each.

Penske drove the last nail in the coffin by releasing Team President Tim Cindric, Managing Director Ron Ruzewski and team manager Kyle Moyer. In particular, Tim Cindric is the father of Austin Cindric, the No. 2 driver for Team Penske in the Cup series.

The most thing is that this is the second year in a row in which the organization was caught in such a scandal. Last year, it was illegally accessed by the car software to activate the 50-horsepower-push-to-pass boost at any time during the races.
