The Penske group has been involved in the IndySeries since 1968 and their first officially competition was in 1969.
But their Nascar debut took place in 1972 and ever since the team has been one of the leaders in the racing world.
Amongst some of the most accomplished drivers who have been part of the Penske group we can mention: Kevin Cogan (1982), Paul Tracy (1991-94, 1996-97), the Brazilian Helio Castroneves (2000-currently part of the active drivers) and Gonzalo Rodrigo who died at the Laguna Seca.
More recently as of 2005 Penske announced they would enter the American Le Mans Series and Porsche would be the auto supplier.
During the present 2008 season the Penske group won the 12 Hours of Sebring in a Porsche 962 a very important victory for the auto branding as it becomes the first one for Porsche since 1988.
