Team Penske focused on moving the fraud scandal past

“I know it was very difficult for him. He said that. He said he didn't sleep the night before because he had to make a very tough decision,” said Power on Thursday, one day after the shock of the team president Tim Cindric, the managing director of Indycar, Ron Ruzewski and General Manager of Indycar, Kyle Moyer.

Penske failed the house according to the cars for power and the two-time defense of Indianapolis 500 winner Josef Newgarden before the final qualification round on Sunday on Sunday. It was found that the cars have modified a technical part – the rear damper is a safety part, and Indycar said that he had not found any evidence that the team pens filled out a seam on it, a competitive advantage.

However, it was the second major technical violation of Team Penske for a little more than a year. Last year, the team has illegal access to its push-to-pass system at times, the drivers would not have been able to achieve the additional upswing in performance. Newgarden was deleted from last year's opening win when Indycar found that the team used the software illegally.

Power expressed sympathy for Penske, who has the three-car racing team Indycar, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the Indianapolis 500.

“I feel bad for him. He is in a very difficult place in this situation,” said Power about Penske. “You could say that it was difficult for him. Hard, hard for him to do that. I think Roger is going very quickly. He makes decisions. He moves forward.

“It starts to see what is best for the team and everyone to go forward. This is Roger. That's why he is so successful,” continued Power. “He will not sit and spend a month to worry about what happened. I think he is” How can we repair and move forward and make sure that it does not happen again. “

Team Penske announced the staff on Thursday on Thursday, which was adjusted on Sunday before the 109th race of the “biggest spectacle in the race”. Penske won the race 20 times.

Newgarden, who tries to become the first driver to win three consecutive Indy 500s, will have Luke Mason as his strategist and Raul Prados as the main engineer. As part of the penalties raised in the team, he was fallen to 32nd place in the start grid and no driver has ever won from the last row.

Scott McLaughlin, who crashed in the early Sunday and did not take part in the last qualification rounds, will begin with Ben Bretzman as a tramel and Malcolm Finch as the main engineer with Ben Bretzman.

Power, who is at Penske in the last year and was deducted in the 33-car area, will have Jonathan Diuguid as a strategy and David Faustino as the main engineer.

He was the only driver of the Penske Three who admitted to be angry with the situation.

“I am disappointed with Roger's name through the mud, its integrity, our team, the people on the” Basically they are thrown into the mud. I take it personally. “

Power, who is at Penske in the last year and was deducted in the 33-car area, will have Jonathan Diuguid as a strategy and David Faustino as the main engineer.

He believes that Penske, due to the external pressure of other team owners, who had significant technical violations in two consecutive seasons, was forced into the shots. He also said that the change in the dams gave him no advantage and had the feeling that good people lost their work because of the incident.

Cindric has been with Penske since 2000.

“It's a kind of shock and a shame. They are all extremely good in their job,” said Power. “It was just the pressure from outside. I think Roger had to make a difficult decision, but I can tell you that these were very credible people. They were really. As you know, the violation was very low. It was not a performance.”

Cindric released on social media late Wednesday and his time with Penske “An Amazing Ride!”

“While my awareness of all noise and accusations remains clear, I am grateful that as many great people pull in times like this strength,” wrote Cindric. “Still big!”
