Famed racer, team owner and businessman Roger Penske will be the honoree for the 25th annual Amelia Island Concours d’Elegance, scheduled for March 5-8, 2020 at the Golf Club of Amelia Island at Summer Beach in Florida.<\/p>\n

Now in its 53rd season Team Penske is one of the most successful racing teams in history. Cars owned and prepared by Team Penske have produced more than 500 major race wins, 590 pole positions and 34 Championships in open-wheel, stock car and sports car racing competition. The team has earned 17 Indianapolis 500 victories, two Daytona 500 championships, overall victories in the 24 Hours of Daytona and the 12 Hours of Sebring plus a Formula 1 victory in the 1976 Austrian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

Team Penske competes in the NTT IndyCar Series, the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series, the NASCAR Xfinity Series and the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. The team also races in the Virgin Australia Supercars Championship, in a partnership with Dick Johnson Racing, as DJR Team Penske.<\/p>\n

Roger Penske\u2019s name is synonymous with motorsport excellence and success. Yet few appreciate his on-track accomplishments as a driver in the years (1958-64) before the creation of Team Penske. It began at an SCCA drivers\u2019 school at Marlboro Raceway (MD) with a fuel-injected Corvette. Just four years later he won the professional USAC Road Racing Championship title.<\/p>\n

Roger started 130 races in seven seasons and won 51 of them. He also finished in the top five in another 60 races. That record stands with even the greatest drivers. He won his first national championship — SCCA D Modified — in 1961 racing a Maserati T61 Birdcage and a Cooper Monaco. Sports Illustrated<\/em> named him \u201cDriver of the Year.\u201d It was merely preface. In 1962 he changed American road racing and left his mark on motorsport forever.<\/p>\n

In 1962 he created his Zerex Special sports racer from the remains of a Formula 1 Cooper that had crashed in the first US Grand Prix at Watkins Glen. When the Zerex Special showed up at Riverside, CA that October for the LA Times Grand Prix everyone cried \u201cfoul.\u201d But the car was legal even though the driver sat in the center, not in the usual position for a two-seat sports car. There was a small — but legal — second seat under an access panel. That meant Penske\u2019s Zerex Special met the letter of the regulations precisely.<\/p>\n

Penske not only won that race and its generous purse, he also delivered broad and positive publicity to Du Pont, his sponsor, a Dow Jones-listed company. Even then Penske was a superb salesman. And when he put the names Du Pont and ZEREX on his unique red center-seat sports car it broke through the clutter at a time when the major American sports car racing sanctioning body outlawed commercial sponsorship. Penske\u2019s Zerex Special was the biggest news in motorsport that October weekend, even displacing the competition debut of a new American sports car named \u201cCobra\u201d to the inside pages.<\/p>\n

A week later Roger and his Zerex Special won at Laguna Seca and he was crowned the 1962 USAC Road Racing Champion. A Wall Street corporation had been lured into American professional road racing by a 26 year old Alcoa Sales Engineer who had beaten Indy aces and F1 World Champions to win the 1962 title.<\/p>\n

After sweeping the 1964 Nassau Speed Weeks, winning all four races for Chaparral and Corvette, Penske retired from driving to concentrate on business. Even an invitation to test one of Clint Brawner\u2019s Indy Cars couldn\u2019t deflect him from his course. So an up and coming sprint car ace named Mario Andretti got the test.<\/p>\n

In 1966, Roger created Roger Penske Racing, which would eventually become Team Penske. It was a time of technical innovation, especially in road racing; wider tires and the new science of aerodynamics moved the performance boundaries and brought increased speeds. A pair of United States Road Racing Championships (1967 and \u201968) and three Trans-Am Championships (1968, \u201969 and \u201871) came quickly.<\/p>\n

In 1972, Team Penske won racing\u2019s biggest prize, the first of a record 17 victories in the Indianapolis 500. That was the same year Team Penske arrived in the mega-dollar Can-Am — the Canadian American Challenge Cup — with the 1000 hp Porsche 917\/10. There were nine championship races that season; Team Penske won six and took the title. A year later when the new Porsche 917\/30 arrived with even more power, Team Penske won six of eight races and another Can-Am championship title for Porsche.<\/p>\n

The brilliance of Penske\u2019s 1962 Formula 1-based Zerex Special often echoes in the cars that wear Team Penske\u2019s colors. But none as clearly and with the resonance of his 1994 Indianapolis 500 winner; the Penske PC23 powered by a special Mercedes-Benz V-8 pushrod engine nicknamed \u201cthe Beast\u201d that simply crushed the opposition. Then it was banned. Nothing like it had ever happened in motorsport. If there was ever a Penske \u201cunfair advantage\u201d the Beast was it. Yet the 1000 horsepower-plus Mercedes-Benz 500I V-8 was perfectly legal and well within the letter of Indy\u2019s rules. The engine designed to win just one race had given depth to Penske\u2019s maxim: effort equals results.<\/p>\n

Penske applied the same concentration and effort that he brought to motorsport to his first car dealership in Philadelphia. It was the first rung on a ladder that would see Penske\u2019s portfolio bulge to over $31 billion in annual revenue and more than 63,000 employees worldwide. Known as \u201cThe Captain\u201d for his lead-from-the-front management style, Roger Penske\u2019s business empire is global in fame and reach.<\/p>\n

\u201cRemarkably, Roger Penske began to create the template for modern professional motorsport when he was still in his twenties,\u201d said Bill Warner, founder and Chairman of the Amelia Island Concours d\u2019Elegance. \u201cI can think of no one whose contributions to all facets of motorsport deserve to be acknowledged as much Roger Penske\u2019s. We\u2019re flattered that he\u2019s been able to make time to accept our invitation to be the Honoree of the Silver Anniversary Amelia Concours.\u201d<\/p>\n
