[autotag]Team Penske[/autotag] has made significant decisions following the cheating scandal in the NTT IndyCar Series race in St. Petersburg. Tim Cindric, the president of Team Penske, and three other key race team members have been suspended for the next two IndyCar races, one of which is the 2024 Indianapolis 500.
[autotag]Roger Penske[/autotag], owner of Team Penske, released a statement alongside the decision to suspend Cindric and three other team employees. Penske expressed remorse for the situation and recognized its impact on IndyCar.

“I recognize the magnitude of what occurred and the impact it continues to have on the sport to which I’ve dedicated so many decades,” Penske said.” Everyone at Team Penske, along with our fans and business partners, should know that I apologize for the errors that were made, and I deeply regret them.”
This story won’t go away anytime soon, as Team Penske will be down several vital members in the biggest event of the entire racing season. The Indianapolis 500 is under three weeks away, and the organization still faces public criticism. Team Penske must put this behind them, but keeping the attention away moving forward will be hard.
