Title: Celebrating Victory at Indy 500: Roger Penske and Josef Newgarden Receive "Baby Borgs"

Celebrating their monumental success, Josef Newgarden and Roger Penske basked in the glory of their "Baby Borg" Trophy win at The Henry Ford in Dearborn, Michigan. This award, given in honor of their consecutive victory in the 2024 Indianapolis 500, is a testament to their extraordinary achievement. Newgarden, having achieved this feat twice in a row, joined an elite group of drivers who have won the Indy 500 more than once for Penske, including Helio Castroneves and Rick Mears.

The presentation took place on January 16, 2025, with Newgarden becoming the first back-to-back winner since Castroneves' victories in 2001 and 2002. For Penske, this was his 20th "Baby Borg," a miniature version of the iconic Borg-Warner Trophy, a commission that has showcased every Indy 500 winner since 1936.

Grateful for their team's dedication and hard work, Newgarden expressed his excitement to return to Indy for another shot at victory, aiming for a historic three-peat. Team Penske's CEO, Roger Penske, praised their human capital and the value of continuity and commitment with their partners as the cornerstone of their success in the racing world.

The significance of this achievement was further emphasized by the unveiling of Newgarden's likeness on the Borg-Warner Trophy's base in December 2024. Crafted by renowned artist William Behrends, Newgarden is now the 111th face on the Trophy, which spans over half a century of racing history.
