'Worst Moment of My Life': Team Penske's Tumultuous Indy 500 Week Ends with Crash, Car Issues

Team Penske had its worst Indianapolis 500 performance on May 25, 2025, in Indianapolis, with no drivers finishing in the top 15.
This result followed a week of penalties, including Josef Newgarden and Will Power being sent to the back row for failing inspection.
Scott McLaughlin lost control while warming his tires during the pace lap, leading to a crash that ended his race before the official start, and Newgarden retired later due to a fuel pressure problem.
Newgarden said on Fox, "They didn't even get to see what they had there," after finishing 25th due to the mechanical failure.
The weekend ended Penske’s hopes for a third consecutive Indy 500 win and renewed calls for independent officiating amid perceived conflicts of interest.
