Statement on the Passing of Teddy Mayer

Braselton, GA. February 1, 2009: "Our thoughts and prayers are with Tim, Pattie and the rest of the Mayer family. Teddy Mayer was one of motorsport's foremost minds and earned the respect of his fellow competitors with his tireless dedication, ingenuity and championship-winning history. He was truly one of the pioneers of modern motorsport, both from a sporting and business perspective. The accomplishments he achieved with McLaren in a variety of racing disciplines and later in life in a much more understated manner with the Penske organization cannot be matched. We truly have lost one of the giants of our industry."
