Following the suspensions of four Team Penske employees by Roger Penske, Josef Newgarden will be missing his usual race engineer Luke Mason and race strategist at this weekend’s Indianapolis Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500 defense. Will Power will also be without his usual race strategist Ron Ruzewski and assistant engineer Robbie Atkinson as he aims for victories in both events. Raul Prados, a seasoned Penske race engineer, will take Mason’s place at the Indy GP, while Jon “Myron” Bouslog will replace Cindric in a dual role. David Faustino will take on both race engineer and strategist duties for Power, with Paulo Trentini Filho filling in for Atkinson. These changes are for the Indy GP only, with Indy 500 staffing updates to come. It is important to note that the suspended employees are not permitted at the Speedway or nearby during the events, and are restricted from contact while the cars are on track but can perform their roles off-track.
