Penske targets Le Mans after Porsche Daytona 24 Hours win
Penske’s No. 7 car, driven by Dane Cameron, Matt Campbell, Josef Newgarden, and Felipe Nasr, narrowly defeated Cadillac to secure Porsche’s 19th overall win at Daytona. This marks Team Penske’s third sportscar victory at Daytona, following wins in 1966 and 1969. Roger Penske expressed his disbelief and emphasized the significance of this win, stating that their next target is the big one at Le Mans. The competitiveness of the race, with only six or seven tenths of a second separating the top competitors after 24 hours, left Penske amazed. Porsche Motorsport’s director of factory racing, Urs Kuratle, acknowledged the success but highlighted the need for further improvement ahead of Le Mans. Penske’s managing director, Jonathan Diuguid, praised the performance of the No. 7 driving squad, pointing out that all four drivers led the race at some point and commending their flawless performance throughout the day.
