BY MICHELLE JACOBY ou may not realize it, but tucked away in the reaches of North Scottsdale is a car lover’s dream: the Penske Racing Museum. While many people drive past the sleek glass structure every day, few realize the treasure trove within it. Packed with racing history that even non-car enthusiasts will find fascinating, it showcases iconic cars and glistening trophies, offering a front-row seat to Team Penske’s incredible legacy. The museum opened in late 2002 as part of the Penske Automotive Group’s Scottsdale 101 Auto Collection. “When they were envisioning the complex, they wanted it to be the crown jewel of the Penske Automotive Group,” said Inside the Penske Racing Museum, where history, horsepower and high-speed thrills collide Racing Throug h History Y Patrick Hozza, the museum’s director. “At that time, we didn’t have a dedicated space for our racing collection, so they decided to add the museum right here.” Since then, more than half a million visitors have stepped inside, diving into nearly 60 years of racing history. Founded by Roger Penske in 1966, Team Penske has become one of the most successful teams in motorsports, with over 640 major race wins and 47 national championships under their belt. And let’s not forget their record-breaking 20 Indianapolis 500 victories and three Daytona 500 wins, solidifying Penske’s spot at the very top of the racing world.
