Menard teams up with Penske as sponsor for Indianapolis 500
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Roger Penske is bringing former IndyCar owner John Menard back to the series as a team sponsor.
On Tuesday, Team Penske announced Menards, a Midwestern home improvement chain, will appear on Simon Pagenaud's No. 22 car for May's Indianapolis 500 and the race at Road America in June.
The Wisconsin-based company will remain an associate sponsor on Pagenaud's car for the rest of the season.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Menard claimed his first IndyCar title in 1997 with Tony Stewart. Two years later, Greg Ray gave him a second title.
Menard also won two Indy poles — in 1995 with the late Scott Brayton and the following year with Stewart.
The 100th running of the Indianapolis 500 is scheduled for May 29.
