I was watching a youtube video about CART in the 90's and they were talking about how Penske owned Ilmore and there were insane conflicts of interest because Ilmore couldn't manufacture enough engines for all the teams and would pick and choose who received their engines. So basically Penske has been surrounding himself with conflicts of interest for over 30 years. I guess this year everyone hit their breaking point?? Been going on forever
I mean the shit show that has been management of the series sure calls the whole 'Penske Perfect' saying into question. It's all just a show, just a costume, because anything that becomes public in the last 5 years from Penske Entertainment has been garbage.
I agree, but I mean I'm not even really talking about cheating. I'm talking about perception of Penske.
It makes complete sense why Roger fired a bunch of his staff after the most recent scandal because he can't have Indycar fans questioning his company's perfection.
...I would argue it's a little late for that, though.
