Travis Law Named Competition Director

Team Penske filled its leadership vacancies Friday by promoting two members of its decorated sports car program.

Jonathan Diuguid, who led Porsche Penske Motorsport to the past two 24 Hours of Daytona victories and this year’s 12 Hours of Sebring title, is the new president of Penske Racing. Travis Law, a fixture in the team’s sports car program for many years, has been named competition director for Penske Racing. The two have a combined 38 years with Team Penske.

The promotions came due to three longtime team executives – Team President Tim Cindric, Managing Director Ron Ruzewski and General Manager Kyle Moyer – being released by team owner Roger Penske in May following penalties incurred in qualifying for the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge. Moyer recently joined Arrow McLaren’s NTT INDYCAR SERIES program as the director of competition.

Diuguid will oversee Team Penske competitors in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES as well as Porsche Penske Motorsport, which races in both the IMSA WeatherTech Sportscar Championship and the FIA World Endurance Championship. He had most recently been the managing director of the team’s sports car program. He joined Team Penske in 2005 and has served seven seasons as an NTT INDYCAR SERIES engineer, working most often with Ryan Briscoe, Helio Castroneves and Josef Newgarden.

Law arrived at Team Penske in 2007 as a tire specialist. He rose through the ranks to become a championship-winning chief mechanic in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES before enjoying the same success with Porsche Penske Motorsport. Most recently, he was the competition director for that program.

The NASCAR leadership structure for Penske Racing South remains unchanged with Michael Nelson serving as president and Travis Geisler continuing as vice president of competition.
