Message to Our Fans on Team Penske's 60th Anniversary
January 1, 2026
To the fans,
Today begins a year-long celebration of Team Penske’s 60th anniversary. I want to take a moment to reflect on how appreciative I am of your unwavering support during that time. Your loyalty is unmatched, and your dedication is unparalleled.
Fans are the lifeblood of our sport, and the passion and fervor you display are key to driving Team Penske forward each season. From Daytona to Indianapolis, Darlington to Long Beach, Detroit to Miami and many more, you continue to amaze us with your terrific and steady support. Professional sports will always have its ups and downs, but your support has been unwavering. We remain as committed to you as you are to us.
Six decades later, it is amazing to think about what Team Penske was like in those early years. From a small, unassuming shop just outside Philadelphia, we started laying the bricks of the foundation you see today: a foundation built on integrity, respect, passion, hard work and a strong will to win. Those principles carried us to wins in our first two races, the 24 Hours of Daytona and 12 Hours of Sebring in 1966, and continue to guide us today.
I’ve said this many times, but the real key to Team Penske’s success and longevity is the people. We call it our human capital. It is the magic behind 48 championships, over 650 wins, 700 pole positions, 20 Indianapolis 500 victories, a win in Formula 1, three 24 Hours of Daytona wins and five NASCAR Cup Series championships since 2012. More than 100 talented drivers, countless crew members, teammates and partners, along with you, the fans, have all helped to propel those accomplishments, among others.
We know the best is still to come. While we celebrate our past throughout the 2026 season, we are not resting on our successes. My father taught me the phrase Effort Equals Results many years ago. It will take hard work to continue the legacy of so many that have embodied that phrase over the years.
From everyone at Team Penske, we thank you for being an integral part of our success. Your trust in our people and belief in our culture is at the heart of our story. We could not do it without each of you.
Sincerely,
Roger Penske
Chairman, Team Penske
