Team Penske responds to Power penalty

Team Penske today issued the following statements on the penalty announced by INDYCAR on driver Will Power.

“Team Penske does not condone or approve of the actions taken by Will Power in the aftermath of the restart that was subsequently aborted in the race at New Hampshire Motor Speedway. Clearly Will, like many of the drivers in the field, was very frustrated with the decision that was made by race control to restart the race under dangerous conditions and he let his emotions get the best of him. The team has addressed this incident with Will and we are ready to move forward." Tim Cindric, President of Penske Racing

“I accept the penalty administered by INDYCAR and I understand that the series has to make a reasonable effort to ensure that this type of behavior will not be repeated by anyone else in the future. I have expressed my feelings about the incident that prompted my poor behavior and I’ve apologized and continue to regret the inappropriate gesture I made as well. Now, I am just looking forward to getting back on track this weekend and trying to earn the best possible results moving forward for Team Penske." Will Power, driver of the No. 12 Team Penske IndyCar
