Penske’s IndyCar operation went from four full-time cars to three for 2022, and has not added an extra car for the 500. This will mark the first time since 2014 that Team Penske has entered only three cars for Indy.
With Simon Pagenaud, who won the race for Penske in 2019, now at Meyer Shank Racing, the three remaining drivers – Will Power, Josef Newgarden and Scott McLaughlin – have had to work hard to investigate different setup avenues, especially given the Day 2 rainout.
