Team Pank on Wednesday participated with the team President Tim Sindric, Managing Director Ron Ruzevsky and General Manager Kail Moyer amidst discovering the violation of the violation of the Indycar rules by the team.
Team founder and president Roger Penscay said, “Our sports and our race are nothing more important than the integrity of teams.” “We have organizational failures during the last two years, and we have to make necessary changes. I apologize to my fans, our colleagues and our organization to disappoint them.”
Team Penscay said in a statement that at the end of this week, its announcements regarding the personnel will go ahead.
This news comes in view of the discovery that the cars operated by the Indian 500 winner Joseph Newguarden and team partner Will Power twice revised Atanuators during the second day of qualifying on Sunday. Indycar announced on Monday that Newguarden Number 2 and Power’s number 15 would start from 32nd and 33rd respectively.
Last April, it was discovered that Penscay drivers were allowed access to the push-to-pass system when they should not have been.
The team’s strategists were also suspended for the race for both cars, which would also leave the Indy 500 qualification points and each would be paid $ 100,000.
“The integrity of Indianapolis 500 is paramount, and this violation of the Indycar rule against the amendment in this part and ‘its use’ as is supplied, is clear,” President of Indycar J. Douglas Bols said on Monday. “The fine should be more than just starting where the cars can be eligible anyway, if given the opportunity.
The 57 -year -old syndric, joined Penscay in 1999 and saw one of his drivers winning Indianpolis 500 on 10 occasions, including Newguarden in 2023 and 2024.
On 31 January, Cyndric selected to withdraw a step as the overall day-to-day leader of Team Penscay’s racing programs.
Cyndric’s son, Austin, is a NASCAR Cup series driver for Team Penscay. He won 2022 Detona 500.
