I've been a Penske fan for close to 30+ years, I always thought Roger very much frowned upon cheating, there is no way he knew what was going on. That's my opinion and I'm gonna stick with it.

[yelapa]

I've known people who have worked for Penske companies. I have trouble with the idea that his employees would have done something like this as a rogue operation. Best I can tell, he's a chain of command kind of guy more than most.

[LooseCohesion]

As an IndyCar fan you had me LMAO Kenny. No worries buddy, glad you're covering the subject !!!!

Now would he apologize if he didn’t get caught?

[michaelriffey]

Roger don't mess around n wants to keep his integrity

My favorite Penske cheating story was from back in the 60’s. He had one car that sent to an aerospace company to acid dip to make light. They had 2 identical Camaros. They would qualify the faster car and then switch the number and qualify it again as the other car. That takes balls…

[mikeskidmore]

Just like any other cheater deeply regrets getting caught ..

[kcboxerfan]

The Captain and King Herman are men of integrity

When I was over in Saudi and we needed supplies to build a deck for rainy season but the commander said he couldn’t get any wood I said give me keys to the truck. He said here they are and I don’t won’t to know anything. Deck got built the next couple of days.

Kenny came up a couple weeks ago on my feed. One of the very few occasions where the algorithm actually works! Great channel, Kenny!

[frankiorio]

Kenny, you called it a few weeks ago. When you said something like this was gonna happen, you, the man.

[travislohneis]

It was great to meet you guys last night ….man your bike sounds badass 🤟🏻 try to stay dry today and ride safe

[STC]

It’s nice to see some accountability, but it should have been more.

[gerrykubly]

WOW!! That's big for Penske to do this in May. Give a shout-out to Michael Andretti from his biggest fan in Wisconsin, when you meet up with him 👍.

[AviatorJohn]

Like I said from the beginning, they knew what they were doing it was 100% intentional.

[SgtRock-crsh]

Penske is a pure professional and a
extremely smart business person.
I don't believe he knew about this either. If you want to talk about real
cheating go on the NASCAR side and a certain Chevrolet team!

If Roger Penske was serious and wanted to send a serious message, he would have suspended the drivers as well. But that would have theoretically eliminated them from championship contention for the remainder of the year. Which tells me he wasn't very serious. Public relations stunt at best ... and I'm a fan of the teams.

[bobpiersol]

The driver should have been suspended to he is as guilty as everyone else. 10 to 1 Tim Cindric will be calling the shots by phone. Don’t trust Penske right now. This is a big black eye on the Indy series. What other shenanigans Penske is pulling over peoples eyes. I hope Honda pulls out now after 2026. Honda supply’s over half the engines for Indy car now. That means Indy car will be done Chevy can’t afford to support Indy series.

[codileger]

I’ll give Penske credit for voluntarily suspending his guys (especially considering it’s the 500). It’s still unfortunate Cindric still hasn’t taken responsibility and considering that guy is supposed to take over Penske after Roger still has me very concerned. Mr. Penske has a lot to think about in terms of who he wants to take the helm
