“We’ve had this race on our radar for some time, but we wanted to wait until we were able to get our drivers some testing at Road Atlanta prior to committing, as it is a very fast track and these cars are very different to drive from an IndyCar,” – President Tim Cindric (Penske Racing)
The team did have a incident while testing at Road Atlanta and ORECA helped the team to get back up and running pretty fast to make the race at Road Atlanta.
The Official debut for Penske will still be at the Daytona 24 for the Acura team.
