Here’s an old Sports Illustrated article from 1988 that talks about Roger Penske Racing. The article also gives some insight into Roger Penske’s personality from people who’ve worked with him.

“He demands a do-or-die loyalty; his employees must be willing to walk off the bridge for him,” says Derrick Walker, Penske Racing’s general manager for nine years. “If you try to leave, or even think about it, it’s a mortal insult to him. He’ll react like, ‘Go! I’ll follow you to the door and change the locks behind you!’ ”
