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 organis🌸ation after 26 years with them, and he isn’t alone.

M🍃anaging director Ron Ruzewski has also left Pens𒀰ke in the days between their failed technical inspection and this weekend’s Indy 500.

Importantly, Cindric also worked as Josef Newgarden’sꦚ race strategist. Ruzewski was also Will Power’s race strategist.

General manager Kyle Moyer, who has worked at Penske for 11 years, is the 🥂third 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 Ruze🔯wski and IndyCar general manager Kyle Moꦺyer from the organisation.

“Tꦺeam Penske will have further announcements this week related to personnel and replacements for this weekend’s Indianapo♑lis 500.

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

“We have had organisational fail𒊎ures during the last two years, and we had to 🔯make necessary changes.

“I apologi🅰se ꧃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 t⛄o Penske drivers Newgarden and Power failed a technical inspe💝ction 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 'push to pass' vi♊olation at the 2024 season-opener.

But this week's controversy has eruped even further after footage emerged of Penske's 2024 Indy 500 winning car featuring, seemingly, the attenuator which i𓆏s now being ruled as illegal.

IndyCar president 168澳洲♛幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Doug Boles was forced to addr💞ess these photos of Newgarden's winning car.

Team Penske have come under fire from other ♐major figures in the IndyCar paddock.

McLaren's 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Zak ಞBrown questioned ꧅their "integrity".

Chip Ganassi insisted that, considering Roger Penske owns IndyCar and the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, that his team should be held to an even 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 has even been mooted tha𓄧t 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 shoul🐎d have been forced to enter Last Chance Qualifying.

That would possibly have resulted in one of their cars not competing in the Indy 500 at ღall.
