Tim Cindric has been shown the door at Team Penske as the fallout from their 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Indy 500 qualifying controversy continues.

Cindric has left the organisation after 26 years with them, and he isn’t 🦩alone.

Managing director Ron Ruzewski has also left Penske in the days b✱etween their failed technical inspection and this weekend’s Indy 500.

Importantly, Ci🥀ndric also worked as Josef Newgarden’s race strategist. Ruzewski was also Will Power’s race s🎀trategist.

General mana꧃ger Kyle Moyer, who has worked at Penske for 11 years, is the thir𝕴d and final executive to lose his job.

An announcement from Roger Penske read: “ Team Penske announce today the departures of IndyCar team president Tim Cindric, IndyCar managing director Ron Ruzewski aꦛnd IndyCar general manager Kyle Moyer from the organisation.

“Team Penske will have further announcements this week related to personneꦑl and replacements for🔯 this weekend’s Indianapolis 500.

“Nothing is more important than the ܫintegrity of our sport and our race teams.

“We have had organisational failures during tꦑhe last two years, and we had to make necessary changes.

“I apologise to our🌞 fans, our partners and our organisation for letting them down.”

Team Penske at centre of Indy500 controversy

On Sunday during Fast 12 qualifying, the cars belonging to Penske drivers Newgarden and Power failed a technic﷽al inspection due to an illegal modification to an attenuator at their rear.

As well as a financial punishment, IndyCar ruled that Newgarden and Power must start the race from the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:back of the 33-car grid - where no driver has ever won from before.

Cindric had already reduced his responsibilities after last year's 'ꩲpush to pass' violation at the 2024 season-opener.

But this week's controversy has eruped even further after foota💯ge emerged of Penske's 2𒁃024 Indy 500 winning car featuring, seemingly, the attenuator which is now being ruled as illegal.

IndyCar president 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Dou🉐g Bo꧂les was forced to address these photos of Newgarden's winning car.

Team Penske have come under fire from other major figu♎res in the IndyCarꦫ paddock.

McLaren's 168澳洲幸运5官൲方开奖结果历史:Zak Brown questioned their "integrity𝓡".

Chip Ganassi insisted that, considering Roger Penske owns IndyCar and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, that his team should be held to an evenﷺ higher standard.

Scott Dixon was among several 168澳洲幸运5官方开꧅奖结果历史:drivers to make their unhappy feelings known.

It ha꧅s even been mooted that Penske's punishment might have been worse.

Rather than start both of their cars from the back of the grid, Rinus Veekay - who was due to be 33rd - claimed that Penske should have been forced to ente🌟r Last Chance Qualifying.

Thatꦡ would possibly have resulted in one of their cars not competing in▨ the Indy 500 at all.
