About this title

About the Author:

Alan Hummel grew up within a few miles of Penske Racing's original shop in the Philadelphia suburb of Newtown Square. His father had a 42-year career with the Sun Oil Company, Roger Penske's primary financial backer during the late 1960s and early '70s. He and his Dad became devoted fans just after the Penske's team first race in 1969, and within a couple of years, were traveling up and down the east coast to six or eight events each season as Penske and Mark Donohue competed in the Trans-Am, Can-Am, Indy-cars, NASCAR, endurance racing and Formula-1.
