Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum: A Celebration of Racing Heritage | MotorWeek FYI
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway recently buzzed with excitement as it hosted the third annual Battle on the Bricks endurance sports car race. This year, event-goers had the opportunity to experience the newly renovated Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum, which now proudly features the Penske Gallery. This permanent exhibit pays homage to Roger Penske, a titan in motorsports who has claimed victory in the Indy 500 more times than anyone else.
In the latest installment of MotorWeek FYI, our host Stephanie Hart connects with Team Penske for a behind-the-scenes look at the rich history encapsulated in this remarkable gallery. Attendees are greeted by an impressive showcase of historic race cars and artifacts that chronicle Team Penske’s evolution over six decades.
The Penske Gallery highlights significant milestones, including the iconic Porsche RS Spider that triumphed at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 2008, and the cutting-edge Porsche 963 currently competing in this year’s race. Team Penske, under the leadership of its president Jonathan Dug, exemplifies a blend of racing excellence and business acumen, reinforcing a legacy that extends far beyond the racetrack.
Moreover, this exhibit pays tribute to legendary drivers who have shaped Team Penske’s success, such as Mark Donahue, whose partnership with Roger Penske laid the foundation for the esteemed racing team. The gallery also boasts a collection of nine winning engines from the Indy 500, including the infamous “beast” from 1994, known for its innovative engineering that pushed the boundaries of racing technology.
