Josef Newgarden, Roger Penske awarded Baby Borgs at The Henry Ford Museum

The miniature replica of the famed Borg-Warner Trophy is given to each winning driver and team owner of ‘The Greatest Spectacle in Racing’. This event, in particular, celebrated Newgarden’s performance in the 2023 edition of the race, where he made history as one of only three drivers to make a last lap pass to win the world-renowned race.

Newgarden accepted his first-ever ‘Baby Borg’, a sterling silver replica with a wood base that measures 20 inches tall and weighing five pounds and features a hand-sculpted, three-dimensional sterling silver image of the driver’s likeness, which was crafted by sculptor William Behrends. It is the 34th likeness created by Behrends, including nine other Team Penske drivers. The trophy also features Newgarden’s name, along with Team Penske, his victory year and average speed (168.193 mph).
