The best medicine to make a week of controversy and distraction go away at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway is speed, and that’s precisely what Team Penske enjoyed on Friday.

In the wake of the team’s second major technical violation in two years, Roger Penske announced the departure of three of its main INDYCAR race team executives ahead of the Indy 500.

Team Penske fires president Tim Cindric, IndyCar managing director Ron Ruzewski and GM Kyle Moyer in wake of scandal.

Scott McLaughlin will have a new strategist and engineer for the Indianapolis 500 because of a rules infraction that concerned a part on Team Penske cars other than his own, and that has left him both angrily defensive and utterly motivated.
