Six Decades of Speed

As the 2026 season unfolds, Team Penske is preparing to honor a milestone that few organizations ever achieve: six decades of competition at the pinnacle of auto racing. Founded in the early 1960s, the Pennsylvania‑based team has grown from a modest operation into a motorsport powerhouse, fielding entries in some of the world’s most prestigious series.

A Legacy of Championships

The team’s record speaks for itself: more than 660 major race wins, 700 pole positions and 48 national championships across open‑wheel, stock‑car and sports‑car disciplines. Its trophy case includes 20 Indianapolis 500 victories, three Daytona 500 Championships and triumphs at the 24 Hours of Daytona, the 12 Hours of Sebring and the Bathurst 1000, among many others.

Looking Ahead

Today, Penske’s racing program spans the NASCAR Cup Series, the NTT INDYCAR SERIES and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship, where Porsche Penske Motorsport carries the brand’s sports‑car legacy forward. With a roster that has featured over 100 drivers, the organization continues to blend tradition with innovation, ensuring that its racing heritage remains vibrant for the next generation of fans.
