	HELIO CASTRONEVES, ROGER PENSKE, TIM CINDRIC CONFERENCE [RACINGWEST]
		ROGER PENSKE: I think that really what happened with 40 to go, there was two decisions to make, one car to go for it.
		PENSKE: I think one of the reasons that we came to IRL was because of Marlboro and Philip Morris's interest to be in a series that would be an international series.
		PENSKE: All I know is that we had telemetry in the pits and the yellow light went on and it went yellow, and at that point, Helio was in the lead.

		Roger, a comment from you about the month of May up to this point.
		It's going to be very critical as far as qualifying goes, especially like Roger said, what the conditions are, reading what those conditions are and making the last final little small subtle changes to get the car exactly where you need it, to get the most out of it for four laps.
		ROGER PENSKE: I think any time I've been trying to qualify at Indy, I'm on pins and needles because it's not if you're going to get qualified, it's just sitting in that car with the driver for four laps, being sure he executes and doesn't make a mistake.

	The mad wallet skills of Roger Penske - Page 2 - IndyStar.com message boards
		Roger never had to say a word about forcing unification, he has a big enough ego to believe he is the most important figure in openwheel racing and his moving to the IRL would lead to one series.
		Penske was so full of himself that he thought by switching to the IRL, unification would happen one way or another.
		Penske's power and influence on the openwheel scene has taken such a hit that names such as Kalkhoven, Forsythe and even Gentilozzi rank higher on the list.

		To be honest, first of all, I have to thank my team, Roger, Tim Cindric, the whole crew, to give me a car to finish, because to win, first you have to finish.
		I was telling Roger, I think it was back in the '97 Rio race in CART when Rahal was leading, and I was calling his race, and he had Tracy behind me there.
		But one thing I would like to say is there's a guy on our team for many years, Gary Buckner, that's not here with us today, and it's very important that we remember what he brought to this team and the spirit that he brought.

		Penske teamed with Porsche in the 1970s in the Can-Am sports car series and has reprised that relationship with an entry in the LMP2 division of the American Le Mans Series.
		Team Penske, with co-drivers Timo Bernhard and Romain Dumas, upstaged the dominant LMP1 Audi R10 TDI by scoring an overall victory, the first ever for an LMP2 entry in ALMS competition, at Mid-Ohio in May. Team Penske claimed the LMP2 driver's championship, and the Porsche RS Spyder won engine and chassis crowns.
		Sam Hornish, Jr., gave Penske his record 14th Indianapolis 500 victory as a team owner in May. Penske also has achieved great success in sports-car racing, and his PC4 was the last U.S.-built entry to win in Formula 1 (by John Watson, in the 1976 Austrian Grand Prix).

		Penske said Sunday morning that changes within the past two weeks -- including the defections of Adrian Fernandez and Bobby Rahal from the Champ Car World Series -- have only reiterated Penske’s move from CART to the IRL IndyCar Series in 2001.
		All of which was good news to Penske, whose decision to leave CART for the IRL after the 2001 season dramatically shifted economic power to the IRL.
		Penske stopped short of proclaiming the IRL the victor in the nine-year battle for control of U.S. open-wheel racing, but he indicated the momentum is on his side -- and the IRL’s.
