—-ir- - 11 ’i II /stfA RACER LIKES VEGA — Roger Penske, left, accepts the keys to a new Vega Air Flo “mini” motorhome from Gary Baker, Vega’s vice president for marketing and sales, in the Winner's Circle at Michigan International Speedway. Penske, whose Penske Corporation recently acquired the Michigan racing property and whose Penske Race Team as an important contender on the USAC Championship Trail, expects to travel the auto racing circuit in his new Vega.

Vega motorhome is home away from home for Roger Penske

Where does the chief executive of a pmulti-million-dollar conglomerate hang his hat when he’s “tending the store” in an automotive empire whose boundaries roughly equal those of the United States and Canada? If that executive is Roger Penske, supercharged head of Penske Corporation, the answer is “In a Vega ‘mini’ motorhome.” Penske, who took delivery of the Vega “Air Flo “mini” motorhome last month at his firm’s newly acquired Michigan International Speedway just outside Jackson, Mich., is already waxing eloquent about the convenience of being able to take both living quarters and office facilities with him wherever he goes. “I really save time by not having to bother with packing and getting to and from the track. Now we just pull up and park and we’re in business. I’ll have to admit I was afraid I was going to feel like I was camping out, but it’s not that way at 411 in my Vega,” was Penske’s comment after making his first trip in the Vega “mini.” Penske never seems to have enough of that time he talks about saving. As the overseer of an automotive empire that includes new-car dealerships in two states; Penske Leasing, Inc.; Penske Racing, Inc.; and Roger Penske Tire, Inc., distributors of Goodyear Racing Tires in 24 states and Canada, he would

seem to have a round-the-clock job. But his duties don’t stop there. He personally supervises much of the actual racing activity which forms a large part of Penske Corporation. In addition,he is a consultant to Sears, Roebuck and Company’s automotive accessories division. P.enske Cars Race At Indy 500 The racing fraternity to a man was greatly surprised when the highly competitive Penske, who had just chalked up three 1964 Nassau Trophy victories in the? Bahamas, moved from cockpit to office. And even today, nearly ten years later, racing still commands the greatest part of his devotion even though it can no longer claim the greatest part of his time. Three Penske cars raced in the Indianapolis classic this past May — an Eagle-Offy driven by Mark Donohue, the ’72 Indy 500 winner, and two McLaren-Offys piloted by Gary Bettenhausen and Bobby Allison, respectively. Bettenhausen, who finished fifth at Indy and who currently ranks, seventh in points in USAC Championship competition, is expected to be a big winner for Penske Racing, Inc., this year.
