When Leaders Lead

I've watched Roger Penske for most of his career, long before Penke Leasing/Rental, track ownership, and all the dealerships. He's now agreed to buy one of the most iconic places in the United States.

I was struck by the comments he made regarding the open wheel series. It is so different from anything I've heard from Glendora in years that I'm still sitting here thinking "If only...."

His statement: "We have to be relevant in the markets we are, it can’t just be just another race coming to town. We’ve always got ideas and are already kicking some things around. The series is not broken. We need to enhance it. We need more revenue. Not only for the league, but the teams, and we’ve got to make sure the product remains relevant to what people are seeing in their cars. All of these things need to be taken into consideration."
