Roger Penske hopeful for more NASCAR, IndyCar doubleheaders

Today at 01:00 AM

Roger Penske says he has not had any conversations with NASCAR about the topic, but the man who owns a championship Cup organization and the NTT IndyCar Series touts the notion of both series sharing a doubleheader weekend as they once did at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Penske made the comment Friday ahead of the NASCAR Awards, which will honor Team Penske‘s Joey Logano for winning this season‘s Cup championship.

"We might see, as we did with NASCAR, doubleheaders," Penske said. "I haven‘t talked about this, I‘m not announcing anything but think about it, Indy, we ran a doubleheader there with IndyCar and NASCAR."

"I know it was successful," Penske said of the doubleheader weekend at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, which Penske also owns. "We could see it with the fan base at Indy."
