IndyCar News: Team Penske announces replacement Managers

Team Penske announced today a new leadership structure for the organization’s championship-winning INDYCAR and Sports Car programs.

Two of the team’s longtime associates that have experience across both programs will officially transition to their new roles, beginning this weekend.

Jonathan Diuguid (pictured) has been promoted to President of Penske Racing, Inc., and Travis Law has been named Competition Director for Penske Racing, Inc.

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 (INDYCAR), as well as Porsche Penske Motorsport, which races in both the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship (IMSA) and the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). Most recently, both Diuguid and Law served in leadership positions for Porsche Penske Motorsport.

As the Managing Director of Porsche Penske Motorsport, Diuguid led the global sports car program to consecutive wins in the 24 Hours of Daytona (2024, 2025), a victory in the 2025 12 Hours of Sebring, a championship in IMSA’s GTP Class last season and the 2024 WEC Hypercar driver’s crown – all achieved in less than three seasons. Since joining Team Penske in 2005, the Raleigh, North Carolina native has gained valuable experience, first working on the team’s Porsche RS Spyder program followed by seven successful seasons as a race engineer for the organization’s INDYCAR SERIES teams before taking on his most recent leadership role with Porsche Penske Motorsport.

“The opportunity to lead the Team Penske efforts across the INDYCAR SERIES, IMSA and WEC is a tremendous responsibility, and the feeling of being trusted to lead these teams is a great honor,” said Diuguid. “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.”

Law represents another shining example of the organic growth and advancement that has been cultivated throughout the Penske organization. The Maquoketa, Iowa native has also been a key contributor to the success of Team Penske’s INDYCAR and Sports Car programs in recent years. After beginning his Team Penske career in 2007 as an INDYCAR tire specialist, Law rose through the ranks to become a championship-winning chief mechanic in the INDYCAR SERIES before enjoying the same success in sports car competition. Law most recently served as Competition Director for Porsche Penske Motorsport before earning a promotion to his new role with the organization.

“Success is what is expected at Team Penske,” stated Law. “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.”

The NASCAR leadership structure for Penske Racing South remains unchanged with Michael Nelson serving as President, Penske Racing South and Travis Geisler continuing his role at Vice President of Competition, Penske Racing South. Nelson and Geisler bring nearly 50 years of team experience in leading the five-time and defending NASCAR Cup Series championship team.

The 2025 INDYCAR SERIES season continues with this weekend’s race at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course (Sunday, July 7 at 1:30 p.m. ET on FOX). Porsche Penske Motorsport will return to action on Sunday, July 13 with the World Endurance Championship race in São Paulo, Brazil while the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season resumes on Sunday, August 3 at Road America
