The Gen2 Ford Mustang in which he won the 2020 Supercars Championship is among famous Penske machinery on display at the museum inside the circuit.<\/p>\n

McLaughlin visited the car in the lead-up to qualifying day, where he locked in an 11th placed starting slot for the May 24 race<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now lining up for his sixth attempt at the race, the 2024 polesitter crashed out on the pace lap last year amid a nightmare month for Penske at the speedway.<\/p>\n

The Supercars Mustang represents happier memories for McLaughlin, who debuted it at the penultimate round of the 2019 season.<\/p>\n

He used it to wrap up that year\u2019s championship before racing it to the 2020 title, achieving a total of 13 wins from 27 starts.<\/p>\n

It was shipped to the US last year<\/a> alongside the Bathurst 1000-winning Mustang it had replaced.<\/p>\n

The 2020 machine sits at Indy among a collection of other famous Penske machinery and memorabilia from the team\u2019s Indycar, NASCAR and sportscar programs.<\/p>\n

Team Penske is this year celebrating its 60th anniversary, with a showcase of the team\u2019s cars also set to open this week at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte.<\/p>\n
