AS far as the GM deal. he used to have several in the NYC area, but he sold them all off; also had ( i think he sold it) quite a large truck rental operation, too!

Roger Penske was also involved with Allison Automatic Transmission --- used in busses and big trucks, as well as the auto repair facilities at K-Mart (Kress Corp.).

And he also owned a race track. I just can't recall where that track was located. 

Kicker is, with all his many holdings, Roger could be bought and sold by Paul.
With money left over.

I LIKE that.

Michigan International Speedway, I do believe! Yup, hee did own Allison too! Guy was and still is a corporate genius... That's why his teams are so damn hard to beat!!! 

THE PENSKE ERA.

In 1973 - when the oil crisis and rising gas prices threatened all of racing - Penske envisioned turning MIS into a premier motorsports facility. After purchasing the deed to Michigan International Speedway off the Lenawee County courthouse steps for an estimated $2 million, Penske went right to work to improve the speedway to his standards. He invested millions of dollars on one capital improvement project after another with a goal of making Michigan International Speedway one of the best superspeedways in the world.

During Penske's ownership, the grandstands were expanded from 25,000 to over 125,000 seats, and numerous buildings were added to the property, including three garages, 28 pit terrace suites, an administration building, two ticket offices, a maintenance building, a warehouse, a sign shop, an entertainment shop, a Competition Tire building, and a Motorsports International building.

For over 25 years, Penske invested in Michigan International Speedway, long after the track's reputation was everything - and more - than he imagined it could be. He even added two racing-related businesses on the Speedway grounds - CompTire and Motorsports International. Penske later rebuilt Nazareth Speedway in Pennsylvania using the same formula he did for Michigan - resurrecting a track out of bankruptcy. In 1997, Penske took his speedways and racing-related businesses public, forming Penske Motorsports, Inc. That same year the company built California Speedway and purchased 45 percent of Homestead-Miami Speedway. In 1998 it added North Carolina Speedway to its portfolio.
