The two also discuss memorable moments at the Indy 500 and fishing for bricks in the creek.

    Penske is someone who truly cares about his businesses and racing. Living in Indy I remember not long after he bought the speedway he was already making changes and they showed it on the news and in the background you could see him getting his hands dirty pitching right in doing the work as well. Pretty cool

    I've met Roger when I cleaned floors at Penske Racing years ago. He is truly a great man as well as the greatest business owner ever. He always knows who is doing what and if it's productive. He places great emphasis on maintaining his properties and keeping appearances to the best. He's a great American!

    When I think of Motorcar Racing, I think of Roger Penske period. Trans-Am, Can-Am, F1, Indy, Super V8, NASCAR and as he mentions in the interview, he tried motorcycle racing (TT). And the paring of The Captain & Mark Donahue was almost unstoppable. Now his organization owns the holy grail of N. American race tracks, Indianapolis. What a pleasant & thoughtful human being. IMO, there should be a part 2 as I feel you were able to only scratch the surface of the man and his involvement in racing.Oh! The stories he could tell!! Outstanding episode!! PS I sure would like to see ‘the brick’ from the creek. Cheers

      I saw a story in one of Carl Hungness’s Indianapolis 500 yearbooks from the late 80’s about the time Roger and the Team Penske INDYCAR team of Rick Mears, Danny Sullivan and Al Unser ,Sr. went to a Detroit Diesel factory for an autograph signing and meet and greet with the employees after The Captain bought the company. He immediately put in plans for it to be employee owned. At the signing a woman came up and told him that she had to force her husband to go to work before he bought the company. After he bought it, he was out of bed before her every day and he looked forward to coming to work.

    Ok a great vlog DaleJr, and Rodger, hay a good idea, and it’s mine Al Kennedy is saying this FIRST, Mr. Penske, and you Dale should go dig up all of the bricks 🧱, and Roger and his team should layer them somewhere in the track concession area or fan area or some museum setting inside the race track somewhere where everyone could see those bricks and see the history of those bricks, or lay them in a secured area where no one could steal them like right down in front of the grandstands where people walk to walk up the isles to see themselves, that would be amazing, thanks DaleJr, I love your channel Dirty Mo, thanks BigAl California.

    Robert Penske what a guy!! I have much respect for him he is good for America I know we all love America. Really good for racing as he is Dale Junior he’s good for racing to. There are some other things that are not good for racing but I’ll leave that alone and make this a happy thing. I love this country so I love you guys. I’d like to see a flag hanging in the background NASCAR is all about America . OK on a lighter note Mr. Penske I’ve asked Dale Junior this and I guess he didn’t need my services never got a response. Perhaps you could use a good hand model. I know I’m a little older but I would like to break into the hand modeling field and I could use a break. A little sponsorship you know God bless America you could have my hands holding a flag driving a truck holding one of your little race cars I don’t know keep me in mind Sir. Also Junior I’m still looking for a hand modeling job if you would like to use my face oh that’s another story ha ha Ha. Remember it’s all about America bottom line. I love this country love you guys stay safe God bless can’t wait to get on a motorcycle ride because I’m going crazy.

    At Indy, tear the grandstands down the front stretch infield but leave the tower.
    Move those seats to the back stretch in between turns 2 and 3.
    Have the Indy 500 and Brickyard 400 on Memorial Day weekend.
    Race on Saturday and Sunday so Monday is available in case of a rain out.
    Install Lights and have both races end in prime time around 8PM-9PM EDT.
