I wonder if Penske will show up? Mr. Championship himself.

I have not seen or heard of Roger showing up at a vintage event.

I saw Roger at the 1987 Monterey Historics when Chevrolet was the featured marque but I'm not aware of him being at any other vintage race where Historic Trans-Am cars were featured.

Which is kinda odd, I wonder if he has a "thing" about HTA oriented stuff, or if he's simply just too busy.

Watching his latest interviews, I can say that he is still as sharp as a tack. Seems to be a pretty cool guy honestly.

Im sure Roger has a very busy schedule. This past weekend, the Detroit Grand Prix was running, and 'Mr. Championship' was there.
Just another T/A fanatic. Current lifelong projects:
1968 Olds 442 W-30
1969 Mustang Fastback w a Can-Am 494 (Boss 429)
