Indycar News: Bathurst winner of the Penske scandal of the Penske scandal

This is the view of the Australian motorsport -Mainstay Paul Morris, who lived on this topic after the release of three top management by Team Penske.

Morris has first -hand experience and many connections within the American racing scene and at the same time observes the “Penske Way” during the time of the empire in Supercars.

The Bathurst 1000 winner in 2014 pointed out that there are “many footprints in the snow” by former team Penske IndiscreaTions.

“They drive the rules, they cross the limits,” he said, noticing that this is not unusual practice in US classes like Nascar. “You will get away with the one you believe that you can get away.”

In this case, the conflict of interest that results from Penske, which has the Indycar series and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the team, has increased the tensions.

“Practical everyone is on their salary billing, so there has to be even more transparency,” he said.

Morris offered his own theory of why the insulting modification was suddenly included in two of the Penske cars during the Sunday qualifications in Indy.

The fact that the modification in pictures from previous races is visible and in the IMS Museum on the 500 award winner of 2024 in the IMS Museum.

“I think the whistleblower here is chip ganassi,” said Morris, who refers to Penske's long-time rival, whose team does three full-time indycar entries.

“If you look at everything that happened, in my opinion this type of things have pointed out behind the scenes and said: 'We have to clean up this stuff.

“Nobody has and Penke was allowed to get away with a few things and then he called them, he had the balls to call someone very powerful.

“How do you do that? Now, if you do it, you probably have to do it in a position in which you cannot manipulate politically or manipulate.

“For Ganassi on national television, when all eyes are on Indycar to qualify for the top 12.

“If he really wanted to be an asshole, he could probably have done it at the end of the race, but Ganassi takes enough care for the sport that he doesn't want to hunt all the sport.

“But he knows that something has to be done. It was a pretty strategic step that I thought.”

The creation of an independent body to manage important sporting elements of the IndyCar series now seems to be inevitable.

While this should mark a positive change, Morris says that a sad reality with the call of 88 years old.

“The sad part of all of this is Roger Penske's reputation now,” he said.

“Will this ever be reset intact afterwards? I don't think. It's really a sad thing.”

The achievements of Team Penske include 20 victories of Indianapolis 500 and countless championship victories in Indycar, Nascars, Sportscars and Australian Supercars.
