#12: Will Power, Team Penske Chevrolet

Team Penske is suspending four of its senior team members for two IndyCar races following an internal investigation into the recent P2P scandal.

Following the penalties imposed on the Team Penske INDYCAR team and drivers after Long Beach, Team Penske has completed an internal review. After a complete and comprehensive analysis of the information, Team Penske concluded that there were significant flaws in our processes and internal communications.

As a result, Luke Mason (#2 Race Engineer) and Robbie Atkinson (Senior Data Engineer) are suspended from Team Penske for the next two INDYCAR races, including the Indianapolis 500. Additionally, Ron Ruzewski (General Manager, Team Penske INDYCAR) will also be suspended for these two races, as will Tim Cindric (President of Team Penske), who is responsible for all Team Penske operations.

From Roger Penske: “I recognize the magnitude of what happened and the impact it continues to have on the sport to which I have dedicated so many decades. Everyone on Team Penske, as well as our fans and business partners, should know that I apologize and deeply regret the mistakes made.”
