Simon Pagenaud’s career was cut short eight races into the 2023 season when he was badly injured in a crash that caused concussion-related symptoms he’s still battling nearly two years later.

Two-time defending Indianapolis 500 winner Josef Newgarden and Team Penske teammate Will Power will have to start from the final two spots on the grid Sunday after their teams were penalized for violating the rules during qualifying weekend.

Will Power had a rough 44th birthday when he lost power in his car, brushed the wall during practice and had his hybrid engine changed before qualifying for IndyCar’s season-opening race.

As Roger Penske investigated the cheating incident that cost Josef Newgarden his IndyCar season-opening victory, never did Newgarden worry about his job security at Team Penske.

Josef Newgarden is focused only on defending his Indianapolis 500 victory.

What’s 10 points worth.

Josef Newgarden kept the focus simple all week.

Austin Cindric drove his brand new NASCAR ride to victory in the Daytona 500 on team owner Roger Penske’s 85th birthday.

Austin Cindric will replace Brad Keselowski in Team Penske’s flagship No. 2 Ford next season.
