Austin Cindric is not worried about his future with Team Penske after his father Tim Cindric was fired by team owner Roger Penske as the team's IndyCar president earlier this week following a cheating scandal at the Indianapolis 500.

The 109th running of the Indianapolis 500 is this Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. See who the experts and oddsmakers predict to win.

The 109th running Sunday is loaded with storylines, from Team Penske firings to cars failing inspections, Shwartzman making history and Newgarden’s 3-peat bid.

Scott McLaughlin defended team owner Roger Penske and said he is more motivated than ever to win the Indianapolis 500 after a week of upheaval within his race team.

He won the pole with Italian team Prema Racing, a dominant European organization that this season expanded to IndyCar. Shwartzman has never before raced on an oval and will start alongside two-time winner Takuma Sato and Pato O’Ward, who lost to Newgarden on the last lap year.

Five days after Team Penske had the cars of Josef Newgarden and Will Power pulled for modified attenuators, rival owner Chip Ganassi again weighed in.

Roger Penske personally told Will Power about the firings of Team Penske's top three executives — a decision Power said his boss made after a sleepless night contemplating how to handle a cheating scandal ahead of the Indianapolis 500.
