From Tim Cindric:

"I have lived my dream job for the past 25 years as the overall leader of the Penske Racing organization.  I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of the best people in the business while achieving many milestones together.  I’ve decided I need to make a change that provides me with the flexibility I need at this stage of my career.  I appreciate the understanding Roger has provided throughout our conversations and I’m confident this team will continue to succeed as we have a proven leadership team in all areas."
