Pretty fun looking cars too

Yep, I’m putting all of Emmo, Pat Patrick, and Chip’s million tobacco-stained dollars on it

Hey now, even if Emmo and the classic Marlboro livery are synonymous w Penske
It won its first 500 on a Ganassi-owned car

![Excerpt from 1989 Indy 500 Wikipedia page:
“Chip Ganassi joined Pat Patrick as co-owner at Patrick Racing for Emerson Fittipaldi's #20 Marlboro entry. 91 Speculation was emerging that Pat Patrick was planning to phase out his full-time ownership role, perhaps pursue a leadership position in CART, or even retire. Patrick himself mostly rebuffed the rumors, stating that bringing in Ganassi as an investor was merely a "business decision". 101 Meanwhile, team sponsor Marlboro was nearing the end of their contract. Patrick was still in good standing with lImor, and would continue to field the Chevrolet engine. A multi-faceted "trade" deal between Patrick Racing
and Penske Racing unfolded over a period of about two years, involving sponsors, drivers, and cars. (11] For 1989, an agreement was reached whereby Marlboro would stay for another season at Patrick and Penske would supply Patrick with two PC-18 chassis for Fittipaldi. 12) In return, Penske would
receive interim Marlboro sponsorship to field a third car for Al Unser Sr. at the three 500-mile races”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:lxfuadl7juo6mkpugix43etg/bafkreib37vyoongxwofzjaq6avsjmc5b4d6qksbswzrz75ndcsojiseifq@jpeg)
![Excerpt from Patrick Racing Wiki page:
In January 1990, Chip Ganassi took over the assets and the shop of the original Patrick Racing team including the two PC-18 chassis, and reinstated the Ilmor-Chevrolet engine lease. He hired former Formula One driver Eddie Cheever, secured sponsorship from Target, and renamed the outfit Chip Ganassi Racing.

So if Honda does depart then we’ll have an Indycar owned by Penske w Penske-owned Ilmor engines & a Penske Entertainment created governing body
Sure we can go back and forth about if this is good or bad or how bad
But it really makes you wonder where the series would be if Penske hasn’t bought it

Yes but sadly that didn’t give him enough ACCUS points to be eligible for this test in the Caddy
However, Rolex in a Caddy sounds likely from this

I think they would’ve surely still banned the turbine if Parnelli had won
But would a victory have cemented a legacy of innovation that extended further to the present day?
