Team Penske has announced a multi-year renewal of its alliance with Chevrolet in the IndyCar Series. This partnership, which dates back to 1968, represents one of the greatest successes in the motorsport world, with an impressive record of 125 victories and 157 pole positions.
The collaboration has been marked by new milestones, including new victories at the Indianapolis 500 with renowned drivers such as Rick Mears and Helio Castroneves. Roger Penske, team owner, highlighted the importance of the relationship for success on the track and expressed his satisfaction with this extension, promising to continue working together in the future.
The 2026 season has been very positive for the duo, which has achieved three victories, including one at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca and has marked a new pole position with Scott McLaughlin, which has been a significant milestone for Chevrolet in this competition.
The history of the alliance focuses on long-term successes. Since they began their collaboration in 1986, the history of the team and the manufacturer has been deeply intertwined. The first contact took place with the first IndyCar race that the legendary Mark Donohue participated in, with a Chevrolet vehicle, in 1968.
The introduction of the Ilmor Chevrolet V8 engine in 1986 marked the beginning of a new era, which started with Rick Mears‘ victory at Pocono Raceway and culminated in his third triumph at the Indianapolis 500 in 1988. Now, with this renewal, Team Penske and Chevrolet are preparing for a future of shared successes.
