Tim Cindric considering opportunities in and out of racing

Former Team Penske president Tim Cindric is doing well, keeping busy and open to new opportunities in motor racing and, possibly, outside of it.

After 30-plus years of non-stop action running the biggest racing programs for Bobby Rahal and Roger Penske, which came to an end in May when he and two other team leaders were fired by Penske, Cindric’s treated the unanticipated break as a blessing.

“You know, I’ve just been catching up on life,” Cindric told RACER. “I’ve had some interesting inquiries within and outside of motorsport, but I haven’t committed anything yet to speak of. It’s just the way it is. There’s certainly more to life than motorsport. I’m finding out that’s all I’ve done all my life. But I’m open minded to interesting inquiries within and outside of motorsport.”
