    Penske want a team shakedown prior to their car's debut next season so they're taking this to Road Atlanta to run in the Petit Le Mans.

    Pretty smart to get in a whole race as a test session. Roger does things right.

    In news that should scare the pants off of every team that is not Penske, Team Penske took pole today in their first outing.

    It's just a test for them, and they're using a generic Oreca LMP2 because their car isn't ready...and they took pole.

    I'll be really surprised if they don't dominate next year. I'm hoping I'm wrong about that.

    Agreed - I think they will. Test of the teams will need to up their game.. but you have Mazada with Joest could be good
