Team Penske names new leadership
MOORESVILLE, N.C. — Team Penske named its new leadership structure for the organization’s NTT INDYCAR Series and sports car programs.
The organization promoted Jonathan Diuguid to president of Penske Racing, Inc., and named Travis Law as the competition director. They will officially transition to their new roles this weekend.
“Diuguid and Law bring a combined 38 years of experience at Team Penske that will serve them well as they look to build on the organization’s legacy of motorsports success. In their new roles, Diuguid and Law will oversee the Team Penske teams competing in the NTT IndyCar Series, as well as Porsche Penske Motorsport, which races in both the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship (IMSA) and the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC).”
According to Team Penske, both Diuguid and Law served in leadership positions for Porsche Penske Motorsport. As the managing director, Diuguid led the global sports car program to wins in the 24 Hours of Daytona in 2024 and 2025. They also won the 2025 12 Hours of Sebring. They earned two championships in 2024 – in IMSA’s GTP class and the WEC Hypercar driver’s crown.
“The opportunity to lead the Team Penske efforts across the NTT IndyCar Series, IMSA and WEC is a tremendous responsibility and the feeling of being trusted to lead these teams is a great honor,” Diuguid said. “After two decades working for Roger Penske, I truly know and understand what the Penske name means in the world of motorsports. The best way I know to show my appreciation to him for his trust is to ensure our success continues well into the future.”
After joining Team Penske in 2007 as a sports car tire specialist, Law rose through the ranks to become a championship-winning chief mechanic in IndyCar. He then had the same success in sports car competition. Law most recently served as competition director for Porsche Penske Motorsport.
“Success is what is expected at Team Penske,” Law stated. “Roger Penske is someone that leads by example. When we get to the racetrack, we know we have the support of someone who has achieved at the highest levels. I am ready to get to work.”
These changes come after a scandal embroiled Team Penske during the Month of May. The scandal led to Tim Cindric and Ron Ruzewski losing their jobs as team president and managing director, respectively.
