Indy 500 controversy puts Roger Penske’s legacy of integrity under scrutiny

INDIANAPOLIS — The day after Roger Penske took ownership of Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 2019, the then-82-year-old reportedly walked around every inch of the massive property to make a list of potential improvements.Since then, his beloved speedway has indeed become “Penske Perfect,” the term the team often uses to describe its standard. Racing’s version of a gigantic Wrigley Field has been refreshed, spruced up and revitalized — reminiscent of Penske’s sprawling race shop in North Carolina, where anyone would be comfortable eating off the floors. In the world of “The Captain,” as Penske is known, seemingly no detail is overlooked.AdvertisementIn some ways, that’s what has made the recent controversies involving his team and series so stunning.

Here’s what we know about Colts ownership after Jim Irsay’s death

Upon his father's death, Jim Irsay took over as the Indianapolis Colts' owner in 1997. Now, following Irsay's death at the age of 65, it appears that his children will now follow in his footsteps. The Colts' succession plan involves Irsay's three daughters, Carlie Irsay-Gordon, Casey Foyt and Kalen Jackson, who each currently hold the title of vice chair/owner. Irsay had previously indicated that his daughters are on equal footing and will continue to be involved in the team's operations. One daughter will hold the principle owner vote, but that position is not fixed and could rotate. Irsay-Gordon joined the Colts as vice president in 2008 and has been actively involved in the business side of the Colts. She led the Colts' business operations when her father entered a rehab facility in 2014. Foyt, who joined the Colts' front office in 2007, […]

O Fluminense goleou por 4 a 1 a AparecidenseGO, nesta quarta-feira, no Mané Garrincha, pelo jogo de volta da terceira fase da Copa do Brasil. Mesmo saindo atrás do placar, o tricolor reagiu na partida e garantiu a classificação às oitavas de final da Copa do Brasil. A equipe goiana fez o uso da "Lei do ex" com o zagueiro Wellington Carvalho, que aproveitou a desorganização do tricolor no escanteio para cabecear firme. A bola bateu no travessão e entrou. Mas o Fluminense reagiu. Ganso encontrou Samuel Xavier, que tirou a marcação com a perna direita e bateu com a esquerda no cantinho para empatar. Logo depois, Samuel Xavier recebeu no meio e lançou para Serna na entrada da área. O atacante deixou a bola escapar, mas, depois do corte da zaga, Everaldo acerta um cabeceio após a bola sobrar […]
