The race had 1.026 million viewers in 2023 when it was aired on NBC. Penske has clearly stepped up during a crisis and shown just how deep his empire is and the loyalty his employees have to honoring him and his brand. "I feel bad for Roger, that whole thing that happened," Power said. "If you're a team like Penske, people like to pound you if something like that happens. 'Ha, ha, we knew that's how you guys are fast.' "But I know how much work goes into it. I know they don't even venture into the gray. It frustrates me at time because I know other teams do. But they will not do that just because of that brand. Roger won't allow that brand to be tarnished with cheating allegations," Power added. "We don't do that." Penske in early May concluded his investigation into the scandal, took decisive action in issuing team suspensions, and told his drivers to go be "Penske Perfect" on the racetrack. Wow, have they delivered.
