Search every verified Roger Penske interview, podcast appearance, and on-the-record quote — each transcript cross-checked by AI and human review to confirm speaker identity. In October 2026, Roger Penske discussed his career in motorsport and named five drivers he considered the greatest he had seen, including A.J. Foyt, Rick Mears, and Ayrton Senna. He described qualities he valued in drivers, such as car control, the ability to work with engineers, and how they handled pressure, and noted that he does not rank drivers by a single standard because different eras required different skills. In August 2026, Penske expressed support for First Lady Melania Trump's "Fostering the Future" initiative at an event, stating that his company and Fox share core values of giving back and that the program supports education for younger generations. He also mentioned an upcoming 250-mile Freedom Grand Prix tied to the 250th anniversary of the United States.
