Indy Car Series And Indianapolis Motor Speedway Both Sold To Icon Roger Penske

Indianapolis Motor Speedway and the IndyCar Series were sold to Penske Entertainment Corp. in a stunning move Monday that relinquishes control of the iconic speedway from the Hulman family after 74 years.

Tony Hulman bought the dilapidated speedway in 1945 and brought racing back to the corner of 16th St. and Georgetown Ave. after a four-year absence following World War II. Roger Penske will become just the fourth owner of 110-year-old speedway.

Wow! You have to admire Roger...from race car driver to industry titan Whatever he paid the Indy Speedway is one investment that will grow in value over time for sure.

At least it wasn't sold to a foreign corporation or individual.

The Captain is one of the most amazing people I’ve ever met. Even if you had a brief conversation with him, then ran into him 5 years later, he’ll remember your name, where you are from and where you worked.
