Brother, that's
Tom BlackburnHOST
the Roger Penske race.
Tom BlackburnHOST
There ain't nothing ticking on that race.
Tom BlackburnHOST
That race is good.
Brian LohnesHOST
So yes, they were blowing up Offenhausers left and right.
Brian LohnesHOST
with big turbo boost, and it had become such an issue that in the 1973 time frame, Roger Penske contacted Cosworth and ordered a couple of one-off DFVs that were shipped with some interesting changes.
Brian LohnesHOST
Custom short-throw crankshafts brought the engine displacement down from 2.9 to 2.65 liters, which was the max for IndyCar at that time.
Brian LohnesHOST
They were also sent with very low compression.
Karl StefanovicHOST
well, that's...
Dick JohnsonGUEST
The way that sort of transpired was that Roger Penske, he bought this business over here, which is Detroit, with MAN trucks and Dennis Eagle trucks or something, which is a very small business.
Dick JohnsonGUEST
And Roger was obviously big into Detroit diesels and that in the U.S., And he wanted to sort of elevate his business over here, and because everything he's done in America has been through motorsport, and he looked around and said, I need to team up with somebody to get the profile, which he did, and fortunately all but one team up and down pit lane contacted him to try and get the gig, and We didn't contact him.
Dick JohnsonGUEST
He came to us and decided that we'd be the ones because obviously the profile we had and things like that.
Louis TherosGUEST
You have to have the city engaged, you have to have other municipal leaders engaged, you have to have money invested in the core city.
Louis TherosGUEST
So in Detroit's instance, it's Roger Penske, it's Dan Gilbert, it's the Illich family, it's the Forbes family, who have taken what the casino started in the late 1990s and built upon it.
Louis TherosGUEST
So we, I believe, when I look back, we have contributed over $200 million to the city of Springfield since we've been open in just gaming tax.
Louis TherosGUEST
that does not include the 40% of our employees who we've paid hundreds of millions of dollars in wages to, or other vendors in the local area that we have supported.
Stephen KilbeyHOST
They obviously had won the IMSA championship the year before anyway, so could leverage potentially an IMSA invite through that.
Stephen KilbeyHOST
But also just it's Roger Penske wanting to win them on.
Stephen KilbeyHOST
Are you going to say no to a Penske effort in hypercar? No.
Graham GoodwinHOST
Right.
AJ AllmendingerGUEST
I tell this story, you know, back in the day.
AJ AllmendingerGUEST
So when I did, when I did the, the Indy 500 for Roger Penske and team Penske, uh, That was a great memory.
AJ AllmendingerGUEST
Almost won the race.
AJ AllmendingerGUEST
Seatbelts come undone, all that.
23 MINS LATER
AJ AllmendingerGUEST
And that got me in into NASCAR.
AJ AllmendingerGUEST
And then for some reason, as I got let go, Richard Petty really liked me.
AJ AllmendingerGUEST
Roger Penske's given me opportunities the first time.
AJ AllmendingerGUEST
And then when I needed it again, the second time, you know, guys like James Finch that allowed me back in the sport and drive their cars.
Rob ZacnyHOST
Well, it was probably more fun this year.
Rob ZacnyHOST
But it's not as... clear cut anymore you know in the years of the split it was clear that like IndyCar, Champ Car was all kind of a shambles that's not as much the case and while it's clear as daylight to those of us stateside that like Roger Penske is what he is and there are now like edgelord vibes around parts of IndyCar It's also undeniable, like, it's a really good racing series.
Rob ZacnyHOST
The value you get out of going to see one of the races is significantly higher than an F1 weekend in a lot of ways.
Rob ZacnyHOST
And so there is a bit of...
Kyle PettyGUEST
You're you work for Rick, Rick Hendrick, and he set the tone and every other I think every other owner that came since that owns multiple teams followed his example.
Kyle PettyGUEST
it's a business it's a business monday all the way till the time they drop the green flag then rick lets it be a sport rick let it be a sport all the all the the teammates you compete against each other you go beat his brains in i don't care but as soon as they throw that checkered flag it's back to business now we're a team again and rick set the tone for that and and joe gibbs followed jack roush followed roger penske all those guys have followed
Harrison BurtonGUEST
the tone that he said i believe And I'll say this, too, about their strategy, right? It didn't end up working.
Harrison BurtonGUEST
But when you think about the nine car ended up staying out.
Bill SnowHOST
Yeah.
Bill SnowHOST
Well, Roger Penske's quote, effort equals results.
Bill SnowHOST
So if somebody wants great arrow results and they engage with you, they got to put the effort in to get the data and the information together.
Bill SnowHOST
The result's going to be there.
Kevin LeeHOST
Car 365.
Kevin LeeHOST
Penske Racing president Jonathan Duguid was spotted in the paddock on Saturday in Barcelona amid intensifying speculation that the team could return to the WEC to fulfill Roger Penske's long-held ambitions of victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Kevin LeeHOST
Was that on the show with you where I mentioned that report, or was that the show I did by myself? You did it by yourself.
Kevin LeeHOST
OK, so that kind of came out last week as well, that there were a lot of strong rumors from multiple sources saying Penske may be interested in a customer program, meaning they have to find the funding for it with Cadillac.
