We got a lot of positive feedback."Īccording to Bouslog, anybody on the team was able to go, while some of the team members opted to spend the day off in Indianapolis. "The guys were home by 9:30 on Saturday and were here for the gates open at 8 a.m. The NASCAR team worked with us and it was pretty seamless.

ROGER PENSKE YACHT PODIUM SERIES
Many of the teams in the Verizon Ind圜ar Series are located in the Indianapolis area with a few exceptions. To make up for that, an extra off day was added to the schedule on Monday so teams could return to work in their Gasoline Alley garages. This year, Ind圜ar and Indianapolis Motor Speedway officials devised a plan where Gasoline Alley would be closed on Mother’s Day and teams would not be allowed to start the changeover from road course configuration to superspeedway setup. Thanks to Team Penske president Tim Cindric, more than half of the Verizon Ind圜ar Series team in Indianapolis for the Month of May at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway got to fly back to Mooresville, North Carolina, so they could spend Mother’s Day with their families.
