Team Penske and Chevrolet announced Oct. 8 a multiyear extension of their partnership that will keep the most successful team in NTT INDYCAR SERIES history with the manufacturer that has powered much of that success.<\/p>\n
That heritage of winning includes nine victories in the Indianapolis 500 with drivers Rick Mears, Emerson Fittipaldi, Helio Castroneves, Juan Pablo Montoya, Will Power, Simon Pagenaud and Josef Newgarden.<\/p>\n
\u201cChevrolet has been a terrific partner for our NTT INDYCAR SERIES team, both on and off the track,\u201d Roger Penske said. \u201cWhile winning on the track is certainly important, Team Penske\u2019s partnership with Chevrolet extends far beyond that. We are excited that this extension will take us well into the future as we work to build on the success we have enjoyed together in the INDYCAR SERIES.\u201d<\/p>\n
The 2026 NTT INDYCAR SERIES season saw Team Penske and Chevrolet open the year with the pole position on the streets of St. Petersburg while capping the campaign with a win at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca. For the season, Team Penske added to the Chevrolet victory ledger with wins at Phoenix Raceway, World Wide Technology Raceway and Laguna Seca, respectively, along with earning three pole positions in 2026.<\/p>\n
Since officially joining forces for the 1986 INDYCAR SERIES season with a manufacturer-backed relationship, Team Penske and Chevrolet have visited Victory Lane 125 times and have captured 157 pole positions, including Scott McLaughlin\u2019s NTT P1 Award in September at Laguna Seca that represented Chevrolet\u2019s 250th INDYCAR SERIES pole position.<\/p>\n
Team Penske first began competing in INDYCAR with legendary driver Mark Donohue driving a Chevrolet-powered Eagle in the USAC-sanctioned race June 15, 1968, at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor decades, Team Penske and Chevrolet have had one of the strongest competitive relationships in all of motorsport, built on a foundation of trust, a shared commitment to technical excellence, and a relentless focus on winning,\u201d General Motors President Mark Reuss said. \u201cThe results of our partnership speak for themselves, but we\u2019re also driven by what comes next. This extension ensures our teams remain aligned and steadfast in our pursuit of more poles, more wins and more Indy 500 victories together.\u201d<\/p>\n
