Team Penske has announced the return of Tim Cindric as the race strategist for Scott McLaughlin in the 2024 IndyCar season. Cindric, a veteran of the sport, brings decades of experience to the role, having previously worked with the team in various capacities.
Cindric's reunion with Penske marks a strategic boost for McLaughlin, who is entering his fourth full-time IndyCar season. The New Zealander has shown consistent improvement, and the addition of Cindric is expected to further elevate his performance.
"Tim’s expertise and leadership are unmatched in this sport," said a Team Penske spokesperson. "Having him back on the timing stand with Scott is a huge advantage for our program."
The move comes as Penske looks to reclaim dominance in IndyCar after a competitive 2023 season. Cindric’s strategic acumen was instrumental in multiple championship wins during his previous tenure with the team.
McLaughlin expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "Tim’s a proven winner, and I’m excited to work with him. His insight will be invaluable as we push for race wins and the championship."
The 2024 IndyCar season kicks off in March, with McLaughlin and Cindric aiming to start strong. Fans will be watching closely to see how this renewed collaboration impacts the team’s performance.
