The Nantucket
(MA) Inquirer and Mirror is reporting today that two of Roger Penske’s
sons, including IndyCar team owner Jay Penske, were arrested after an alleged break-in
and assault at the Nantucket Yacht Club early Thursday.
Jay Penske, 33, and Mark Penske, 35, were
arrested after two women called local police to report that they had been
assaulted in the Yacht Club’s parking lot shortly before 2 a.m. Police responded,
and two men later identified as the Penske brothers ran to a house on club
property, where they were apprehended. One of the women reportedly accused Jay
Penske of urinating on her boots
Jay and Mark Penske were held overnight in
the Nantucket Police Department’s holding facility and released today after being
arraigned on charges of breaking and entering. They are scheduled to appear for
a pre-trial hearing set for Monday, Aug. 20.

ReplyDeleteI guess you could say the "Captain" is not having a good year.
DeleteLet justice be served and just because they are the Penske brothers they should get NO special treatment.....they are no better that you and I ....give them what they have coming!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow funny how things can turn on you when you turn your back on a kid like aj!
ReplyDeleteWell I pray for Rogers family I see some jail time here at least. Couple of weeks!
Roger didn't turn his back on AJ..he made a business decision that was probably outlined very clearly in AJ's contract. Sometimes business decisions can seem cold but Penske couldn't set a precedent of employees failing drug tests and keeping thier jobs. If AJ wasn't fired, in the future if someone sweeping the floors in the garage for minimum wage were to be fired for failing a drug test they could file a huge 6 or 7 figure wrongful termination lawsuit. Business decisions like AJ's termination are often just as hard on the person that does the firing because they have no choice and have to do it.
DeleteThe Captain just keeps on absorbing the kicks. Dang I hope things get better for him!
ReplyDeleteLets wait till all the evidence is in.Could be a case of someone lookin for 15 min of fame.
ReplyDeleteTo have money doesn't mean you have intelligence or class.
ReplyDeleteNo connection to Cup team other than its his kids!! Not to mention not guilty yet!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a tough year for Penske. These kinds of stories no one wants to read/hear. Between last year with Kurt Busch combined with this year's drama, 2013 can only be better, right?
ReplyDeleteIts a shame they were raised to behave this way
ReplyDeleteKurt, terminated for anger issues, AJ, terminated for a mistake not worthy of termination.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Penske will treat these yahoos like he treats his employees, since this is far more serious.
Penske, raising great kids for 35 years.

And Dinger got booted for a mistake. Good move Roger, nice kids there.
ReplyDeleteKarma comes in two letters, AJ
ReplyDeletei wonder what the billionaires wanted so bad they had to B and E. SAD :[
ReplyDeleteI'll bet those 2 fine young gentlemen never meant to sprinkle anyone's Uggs. I'm sure growing up with a multi-billionaire father gave them no sense of entitlement. This has to be some kind of mistake.
ReplyDeleteIf its true, I hope they are made to pay their debt to society alongside every other common criminal. For as long as every other common criminal would be made to pay for the same crime.
Better?
At what point do you get too old to urinate on a stranger's shoes? Maybe the woman was committing a fashion crime...
ReplyDeletethat's funny.
DeleteWhy do I get the impression that alc0hol might be involved here. Hey Dave. I loved your comment at Pocono about Joey Coulter Swatting the leader with a newspaper. I laughed so hard!!!
ReplyDeleteI personaly think if the "CAPTAIN" Is going to make business decisions like letting Kurt go and AJ the moral thing to do in this case would be relieving his children from there duties. He has set a high bar for zero tolerance , there know need in backing down now. in my opinion if these men are tried and convicted and he let's them keep there positions at Penske Racing he should consider puting AJ back in the Shell Pennzoil machine.
