Scott McLaughlin, the only Team Penske driver not sent to the rear in the field due to an unmodified attenuator, has faced challenges as his race strategist and team GM were fired this week. Despite starting tenth in a backup car after a crash, McLaughlin moves forward with new strategist Ben Bretzman. He expressed sadness over the firings but respects and understands Roger Penske’s decision. McLaughlin aims to focus on winning the Indy 500 amidst the controversy surrounding the team’s rules violation. Despite disappointment in the situation, he remains motivated and confident in his team’s abilities for Sunday’s race.
