Racing Icon Roger Penske on Navigating Life's Twists and Turns

At our 32nd Annual Awards Dinner on November 9, racing legend Roger Penske shared reflections about his successful career as a car owner, purchasing the Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS) in 2019, entrepreneurship and more. Racing enthusiast Gov. Eric Holcomb asked the questions in a one-of-a-kind conversation. Born and raised in Shaker Heights, Ohio, a Cleveland suburb, Penske’s love of cars and speed launched his career – first as an accomplished driver. Through Team Penske, his pro racing team, he has emerged as one of the most influential figures in auto racing history. Penske is the founder and chairman of Penske Corporation, whose subsidiaries operate in a variety of industry segments. They include retail automotive, truck leasing, transportation logistics and professional motorsports. Subsidiary Penske Entertainment Corp. owns the storied IMS, the NTT IndyCar Series, the premier open-wheel racing series in North America, and IMS Productions, which offers video and production services. Penske Corporation manages businesses with consolidated revenues of more than $32 billion, operating in over 3,200 locations and employing more than 60,000 people worldwide. Navigating the twists and turns on a racetrack has parallels to steering a business through highs and lows. Penske has made his mark in both realms and knows what it takes to achieve at the highest level.
