RIP PENSKE'S MAESTRO: Team Penske mourned the loss of its first team member when Karl Kainhofer passed away on the eve of the Snap-on Milwaukee Mile 250 race weekend. Kainhofer began his motorsports career as a Porsche-trained master mechanic before becoming Roger Penske's personal mechanic during the legendary owner's brief stint as a driver. After Team Penske was formed in 1966, the Austrian-born Kainhofer became the team's first full-time employee and helped guide the likes of Mark Donohue and others to victories in the Can-Am Series, Formula 5000, INDYCAR and Formula 1. For the second part of his career with Team Penske, Kainhofer worked as the head of Penske's engine shop until his retirement in 1997 after 32 years with the team. Through a career in racing that spanned 40 years from 1958 through 1997, Kainhofer was part of a remarkable 170 wins, including 10 Indianapolis 500 victories.
TUNE-IN INFO: The Milwaukee Mile Snap-on 250 can be seen live on FOX at 2:00 pm ET on Sunday, August 24.
THEY SAID IT: "A very solid run for the Sonsio Chevy. That should give us a good starting position tomorrow, one that we can win from for sure. Tire degradation is going to be so critical tomorrow, like it was last year. I've really enjoyed this track and I think we have a shot to get to Victory Lane again tomorrow."
