IndyCar – Allmendinger with Penske at Indy 500

AJ Allmendinger was likely to run several races in IndyCar with Team Penske. The team confirmed today that the Californian would be at the start of the Barber Motorsports Park event on April 7 but especially at the Indianapolis 500 at the end of May. After being involved in a doping case in Nascar, Roger Penske's team supports him and could enter him in other races in the Championship this season.

For those who haven't ridden in the discipline since Surfers Paradise in 2006, this opportunity is a real gift offered by Penske. “I think it's every driver's dream to ride with Team Penske at the Indianapolis 500 and it will be a fantastic experience. I also have to thank IndyCar for their support and giving me the chance to prove what I am capable of. » Roger Penske is delighted to be able to help AJ Allmendinger get back in the saddle, the American having regressed in the Sprint Cup by joining Phoenix Racing for this season. “He clearly experienced difficult times last year, but he did everything to return to the best level of the competition. We have always believed in AJ's abilities and he deserves this opportunity. »
