Team Penske will celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2026 with a yearlong effort to tell its story through special events, liveries, and exhibits.
“Our 60th anniversary is a tremendous milestone for our organization,” said Roger Penske. “The 2026 season will give us the opportunity to celebrate the people, partners and fans who have helped shape Team Penske since 1966, while also looking ahead to the future. This year ahead is a meaningful one with many terrific moments for our team and story still to come.”
Among the most prolific teams in the sport’s history, Penske’s organization has raced and won throughout the world in Formula 1 and sports cars while being a dominant force at home in Indy cars, stock cars, and sports cars as well. With more victories at the Indianapolis 500 than any other entrant to go with triumphs at the Daytona 500, Rolex 24 At Daytona, Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, Bathurst 1000, Penske has an immense catalog of achievements to draw from while honoring its longevity throughout 2026.
“The 60th anniversary will be recognized throughout the year with a series of special programs, initiatives and storytelling designed to engage fans, partners and the motorsports community,” the team wrote. “The team will introduce a refreshed anniversary identity that will appear across its race cars, uniforms, digital platforms and merchandise. Team Penske will also elevate its Hall of Fame program in 2026, recognizing individuals whose leadership, ingenuity and dedication have contributed to the organization’s sustained success.
“A major highlight of the celebration will be a dedicated 60th anniversary exhibit opening in late spring at the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte, NC. Featuring historic race cars, championship memorabilia and rarely-seen artifacts from the team’s archives, the exhibit will showcase the pivotal moments that have defined Team Penske’s six decades of competition. Additional anniversary displays are planned for the Penske Gallery at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum and the Penske Racing Museum in Scottsdale, Ariz., offering fans multiple opportunities to experience the team’s rich history in person.”
Team Penske’s first racing activities will take place at Daytona for IMSA’s season-opening WeatherTech SportsCar Championship which could also host the first look at its 60th anniversary presentations.
“On track, select retro paint schemes will appear across Team Penske’s entries in NASCAR, IndyCar and IMSA, created in collaboration with long-standing partners who have played a central role in the team’s success,” the team said. “The celebration will also extend to a special 60th anniversary Fan Day that will bring fans together with current and former drivers, partner exhibits and exclusive behind-the-scenes access. A new line of commemorative apparel and merchandise will also roll out throughout the year, with the first items available online and in the team store beginning in January 2026.”
