Tres Racecars at Penske Racing Museum

This photo was taken many years ago during one of my annual visits to the Penske Racing Museum in Scottsdale, AZ. It features the iconic Yellow Submarine made famous by Rick Mears, who won the  1984 Indianapolis 500 aboard it. Mark Donohue’s 1974 Penske PC1 Formula 1 chassis, sponsored by First City National Bank. And Mario Andretti’s IROC VI Championship winning Camaro, Sweet!

 

Not sure why I’ve kept this old Autoweek article’s link upon Ye Gory Confuzer forever? But without Mark Donohue, there would be no Team Penske! And it’s a good look back at Penske Racin and Donohue’s beginnings…
