Roger Penske received the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor, from United States President Donald Trump on Oct. 24 at The White House.
Guided by his father’s favorite phrase, ‘effort equals results,’ Mr. Penske built his one car dealership into Penske Corporation, a leader in global transportation services. On the track, Mr. Penske built and led Team Penske into the most successful motorsports team in history.
Team Penske, Penske’s motorsports team across various series, has won more than 530 races and 35 championships in its 53-year history.
Penske becomes the second person in the motorsports industry to earn the honor. NASCAR Hall of Famer and seven-time champion Richard Petty received the honor from President George H.W. Bush in 1992.
