Jonathan Diuguid and Travis Law have both been promoted to larger roles within Team Penske, effective immediately, filling positions that were vacated amid the team’s NTT IndyCar Series firings in the build-up to the Indianapolis 500.

Diuguid, the managing director of Porsche Penske Motorsport, has been announced as the President of Penske Racing, Inc, and will oversee all of Team Penske’s efforts in IndyCar, the FIA World Endurance Championship and IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship.

Law, who had served as Porsche Penske’s competition director, meanwhile, will add IndyCar competition director duties in his new over-arching role as well.

Both Diuguid and Law’s new roles will begin with this weekend’s IndyCar round at Mid-Ohio.

Diuguid and Law bring a combined 38 years of experience at Team Penske, with Diuguid having started with the team’s Porsche RS Spyder program followed by seven years as a race engineer in IndyCar before taking on his most recent leadership role with Porsche Penske.

“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, meanwhile, began his career at Team Penske in 2007 as an IndyCar tire specialist and rose through the ranks to become a championship-winning chief mechanic in IndyCar before moving over to the team’s sports car racing programs.

“Success is what is expected at Team Penske,” said 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.”

Diuguid essentially replaces Tim Cindric, who along with Ron Ruzewski and Kyle Moyer were fired by Roger Penske in May after two of the team cars were found to be illegal prior to the Indy 500.
