IndyCar series and IMS owner Roger Penske told IndyStar he has not considered selling IMS, IndyCar or his race team among concerns of a conflict of interest following Team Penske's push-to-pass scandal.

“I will do nothing different than I’ve ever done since we bought (IMS) and owned the series and acted as the owner of the race team. My head is high, and we’ve taken action. It’s unfortunate, and I’m going to move on,” Penske said. “I’ve operated as the owner of IMS (and IndyCar) since the sale and haven’t been in the pits at any races and certainly haven’t been in race control. I feel I’ve honored my responsibility during the last four years.

“I can say to you that the track and series are not for sale. I feel if my reputation and actions I’ve taken the last 50 years aren’t good enough for people to understand how we do business, then I’m obviously disappointed.”

Tuesday, the team announced two-race suspensions for team president Tim Cindric, managing director Ron Ruzewski, race engineer Luke Mason and data engineer Robbie Atkinson, following Penske’s visit Monday to the team’s Mooresville, N.C. shop to make final decision on how the team would move forward. Drivers Josef Newgarden and Scott McLaughlin were disqualified after finishing first and third, respectively, at St. Pete and the team was fined $75,000 after it was discovered the team had access to push-to-pass on restarts in violations of series rules.

Roger Penske maintains no members of Team Penske had any “malicious intent.”
