Meanwhile, Cindric himself acknowledged his decision with a comment that was also shared by Team Penske. He said: “I have lived my dream job for the past 25 years as the overall leader of the Penske Racing Organization. I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of the best people in the business while achieving many milestones together.
