Team Penske president Tim Cindric was one of four suspended for two races by Roger Penske for their roles in a cheating scandal that has rocked IndyCar.
Roger Penske on Tuesday said he has suspended the president of Team Penske along with three others for two races for their roles in the cheating scandal that has rocked IndyCar ahead of the Indianapolis 500.
Ruzewski and Atkinson both work on Will Power's car -- Ruzewski is his strategist -- and Power is the only one of the three Penske drivers not accused of any wrongdoing in the push-to-pass scandal.The suspensions are for two races, which cover this weekend's event on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course and the Indy 500, which Penske is trying to win for a record-extending 20th time.
The team said an internal review was completed following IndyCar discovering that all three Penske cars had an illegal software system installed that allowed the drivers to use the push-to-pass function on starts and restarts. The system is controlled by IndyCar and disabled on starts and restarts, when the extra boost of horsepower is illegal.
