Daytona Beach, Florida - Team Penske, led by iconic team owner Roger Penske, came tantalizingly close to securing their first victory in the Rolex 24 at Daytona since 1969. With only four hours remaining in the prestigious endurance race, their Porsche entry piloted by Indianapolis 500 winner Josef Newgarden was leading the pack.
Roger Penske, a legendary figure in the world of motorsports, last tasted victory in the Rolex 24 at Daytona 54 years ago when Mark Donohue and Chuck Parsons claimed the triumph. Since then, Team Penske has been on a relentless pursuit of the overall Rolex victory, having previously won the GT class in 1966.
