The consequences from Team Penske's Indy 500 qualifying scandal are still unfolding several days later. Josef Newgarden and Will Power have already been sent to the rear of the field, the team has been fined a total of $200,000, and race strategists for each driver were suspended.
Penske has now taken things a step further by announcing the departure of IndyCar team president Tim Cindric after 26 years with the organization. His son Austin currently competes full-time for Penske in the NASCAR Cup Series. Cindric already stepped back from his day-to-day leadership role in January following last year's push-to-pass scandal.
