Good Day for Mazak and Team Penske at Indy 500

Mazak Corp., a Penske Racing technical sponsor, congratulates Team Penske and driver Juan Pablo Montoya on their outstanding performances at this year’s Indy 500 on May 24. Montoya took the checkered flag, and his win marks a record-setting 16th victory at the Indy 500 for Team Penske.

This year’s Indy 500 win is the second for Montoya, and it joins the many highlights of his second season driving the No. 2 Verizon Team Penske Dallara/Chevrolet. Completing the 1-2 Team Penske punch in Indianapolis, Will Power in the Team Penske No. 1 Verizon Chevy crossed the finish line just 0.1046 of a second behind Montoya to clench second place. And Team Penske drivers Helio Castroneves, three-time Indy 500 winner in the No. 3 Shell V-Power Nitro+ Chevy, and Simon Pagenaud, in the No. 22 Avaya Team Penske car, both finished strong within the top 10 of the field. 

Roger Penske’s Penske Racing is the winningest team in Indy 500 history and relies on Mazak machine tool technology. With the equipment, the team produces highly engineered components that must quickly go from design to the racetrack and give the team a competitive advantage.

Mazak has been a Penske Racing sponsor since 1994, and the Mazak logo can be seen on all of the IndyCar mirrors, as well as on the NASCAR Series cars. Click here to learn more about Mazak and Team Penske.
