Tim Cindric has been shown the door at Team Penske as the fallout from their 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Indy 500 qualifying controversy continues.

Cindric has l⛦eft the organisation after 26 years with them, and he isn’t alone.

Managing director ⛦Ron Ruzewski has also left Penske in the days between their failed tec♋hnical inspection and this weekend’s Indy 500.

Importantly, Cindric also worked as Josef Newgarden’s race strategist. Ruzews൩ki was also Will Power’💜s race strategist.

Gene🍬ral 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 mana🔯ging director Ron Ruzewski and IndyCar general manager Kyle Moyeꦡr from the organisation.

“Team Penske will have further announcements this week related to personnel and rep൲lacements for this weekend’s Indianapolis 500.

“Nothing is more importan⛦t than the integrity of our sport and our race teams.

“We have had organisational failures during the last two years, and we h꧅ad to make necessary chang🎃es.

“I apologise to our fans, our partners and our organisation for let🀅ting 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 technical inspection due to an illegal modification t💜o 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5最新开奖结果:back of the 33-car grid - where no driver has ever won from before.

Cindric had already reduced his✱ responsibilities after l😼ast year's 'push to pass' violation 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 is🐟 now being ruled as illegal.

IndyCar president 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Doug Boles was forced to 𒅌address these photos of Newgarden's winning car.

Team Penske have come under fire from other major figures in the In꧋dyCar paddock.

McLaren's 1𝔍68澳洲5最新开奖结果:Zak Br꧅own 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5最新开奖结果:drivers๊ꦓ to make their unhappy feelings known.

I🌜t has 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 ꦗPenske should have been forced to enter Last Cha♏nce Qualifying.

That would possibly have resulted in on♍e of their cars not competing in the Indy 500 at all.
