That is true, but hooking up with Hendrick and his boatload of dealerships wouldn't have been anything to sneeze at either. Penske does offer the Indy cars though. I just would have liked to see my favorite oil hook up with my favorite team. I respect Roger Penske, but he is such a mercenary. Whether it's a car make, a chassis, an engine or a sponsor, he will drop you in a flash if something better comes along. I would be more than a little nervous about doing business with him.
