ROGER PENSKE – AGE 84

Roger Penske may have stepped back from being a race car driver, but at 84 years old, he is very much involved with running his business and investments on his own. Penske has already stated in 2019 that he wasn’t planning on retiring from Penske Automotive Group, but there is a succession plan already in place that will be decided by the board of directors in the event that he quits.

For now, Penske still loves the business and wants to stay involved as long as he can. Penske became a popular race car driver in 1961 and had earned the nickname, The Captain during his heydays. He retired from racing in 1965 to focus on running a Chevrolet dealership in Philadelphia. Penske has already claimed 15 Indianapolis 500 victories. Aside from his company, the pro racer has also become one of the boards for Home Depot and Delphi Automotive.
